Merge proposal, withdrawn
I propose to merge this article with the one on Iron-sulfur protein. Adding to the confusion, we also have an article on ferredoxin, which I propose to leave alone. --Smokefoot (talk) 22:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I dont think it should be totally merged since organometallic iron sulfur clusters are not biological and should not be mentioned in the iron-sulfur protein article. But the synthetic iron sulfur clusters (like those from Richard Holm at Harvard) should be moved to the iron-sulfur protein article since they are meant to be biomimetic analogs of the biological clusters. Conversely, there should be very little, almost no, discussion of the biological iron sulfur clusters in this article since that is redundant with the iron-sulfur proteins article, so the two sections should be merged and have only one or two sentences with an internal link to the iron-sulfur proteins article. I also dont think this article is very worthwhile since i dont think there are enough non-biological iron sulfur clusters, Im surprised this article was started in the first place.
