While many model complexes of hydrogenases can catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction, few of them can react with hydrogen. Here we review the hydrogen-activating models of hydrogenases, in particular, [NiFe]- and [FeFe]-hydrogenases. The mechanism of these reactions is described.HydrogenaseBio-mimetic chemistryHydrogen activationMechanismtext::journal::journal article::research article
