Abstract-The ground state electronic properties of the mixed-valence clusters Fe7S6Fe7S6 (PEq4Cl,(PEt&Cl? (1),(l), Fe6S6(PEt,)4L2Fe,&(PEt&L2 [L = Cl- (2).(2), Br- (4) (4), I-I~ (5) and PhSPhS- (6)], Fe&Se,Fe6Se6 (PEt3)4CI2(PEt3)&12 (3) and [Fe[Fe,S,(PEt),]‘-6S 6(PEt) 6] 1- (9), have been investigated by magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and MossbauerMiissbauer spectroscopic measurements. Cluster 1 has a (idealized C,,)C3v) monocapped prismane structure and clusters 2-6 and 9 adopt the CtiC 2v “basket”"basket" 1 configuration based on the [Fe[Fe6(~2-S)@3-S)4@4-S)]2+,1+6(J.lrS)(j.trS) 4(j.t4-S)] 2+, + core unit. From magnetic prop-prop­ erties, the ground states S = 1/2l/2 (1, 9) and S = 1 (2-5) were established. Unlike thethe other clusters, 6 did not show a Curie region of susceptibility; its ground state was not directly determined but is probably S = 1. MossbauerMiissbauer spectra were successfully analysed in terms of a 1:: 1:: 1 ironiron site population,population. shifts and quadrupole splittings were assigned to each site. Magnetically perturbed spectra obtained in applied fields of 60-80 kOe were analysed toto give the magnetic hyperfine parameters and magnetic hyperfine fields in clusters 1-51-5 and 9. The magnetic spectra demonstrate antiantiferromagneticferromagnetic spin coupling which affords thethe indicatedindicated ground states.
