摘要

<jats:p>In this brief review we focus on a few examples of how a family of homo‐ and heteroscorpionate ligands allow us to examine how changes in reactivity, structure, or physical/chemical properties around biologically interesting N<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>X coordinated metal centers vary as a function of donor atom, charge, hydrophobicity, hydrogen bonding, etc., in a way previously unavailable. Such a family of ligands is the bioinorganic chemists answer to site‐directed mutagenesis. Here we focus on two bioinorganic examples i.e. models for molybdoenzymes and zinc metalloproteins.</jats:p>
