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 N2X 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.
