Popis: The [1:3] site-differentiated cubane-type clusters [Fe4Q4(LS3)Cl]2- (Q = S, Se; LS3 = 1,3,5-tris((4,6-dimethyl-3-mercaptophenyl)thio)-2,4,6-tris(p-tolylthio)benzenate(3−)) undergo substitution reactions at the unique iron site with a variety of ligands including thiolates, phenolates, cyclic triamines and a trisulfide, imidazoles, and tertiary phosphines. Reactions are readily followed because of the extreme sensitivity of isotropically shifted resonances to the nature of ligand L‘ in the product clusters [Fe4Q4(LS3)L‘]2-,-. Isotropic shifts and redox potentials are reported for over 40 clusters, including many cluster pairs differing only in the core chalcogenide atom. In this way, comparative properties of sulfide and selenide clusters can be elicited. It is shown that the larger isotropic shifts consistently observed for selenide clusters and dominantly contact in nature arise from larger magnetic susceptibilities, which indicate a lesser extent of antiferromagnetic coupling. It is further demonstrated...
