Description
Summary:Electronic structural insights into the complex FeMo cofactor of nitrogenase and an electronically related model complex were obtained by utilizing a combination of Fe L2,3‐edge and Mo L3‐edge X‐ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy. In their Communication on page 9373 ff., S. DeBeer and co‐workers provide the first experimental evidence for a spin‐coupled non‐Hund configuration at the Mo atom.
