The article reviews results of research that was initially aiming at complexes containing new and unusual [M-N-E] element combinations (M = transition metal, E = main group element), but soon turned into studies on model complexes for metal enzymes such as nitrogenases, hydrogenases or CO dehydrogenases, because several of the resulting [M-N-E] complexes exhibited reactions relevant to these enzymes. It could be shown that alkylation of transition metal thiolate nitride complexes gives alkylimido complexes when bulky and mild alkylation reagents, e.g. Ph3C+, are used. Hydride addition to [Ru(NO)(py(bu)S(4))](+) yielded [Ru(HNO)-(py(bu)S(4))], which contains a bifurcated [M-N(X,Y)] bridge. The diazene complex [mu-N2H2{Ru(PCy3)(S-4)}(2)] undergoes H+/D-2 and H+/D+ exchange reactions that enabled to rationalize the until then inexplicable 'N-2 dependent HD formation' catalyzed by nitrogenases. Out of a larger number of [Ni(NE)(S-3)] complexes, the compound [Ni(NHPPr3)(S-3)] proved capable to model structure and reactivity features of [NiFe] hydrogenases. The [Ni(L)(S-3)] complexes with L = N-3(-) and N(SiMe3)(2)(-) exhibit extremely high reactivity towards CO, CO2 and SO2. The reactions lead to NCO-, CN- and NSO- complexes and bear potential relevance for carbon monoxide dehydrogenase reactions.
