Notes:
Spin-polarized Xα-SW calculations of [Fe6(μ3-S)8(PH3)6]2+ as a model of the cluster [Fe6(μ3-S)8(PEt3)6] (BPh4)2 have been performed. The highest occupied energy levels are well separated from empty levels, and up to a maximum of eight electrons can be unpaired, giving a maximum spin state with S = 4. This electronic state is consistent with the magnetic data of [Fe6(μ3-S)8(PEt3)6](BPh 4)2, which have been interpreted using the Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck exchange spin Hamiltonian. The S = 4 state arises from the magnetic coupling between five low-spin (Si = 1/2) and one intermediate-spin (S = 3/2) iron(III) center. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
