Abstract

A model that considers the double exchange and isotropic exchange is developed to account for the magnetic properties of the hexanuclear octahedral clusters [Fe63-X8)(PEt3)6]+ (X = S, Se), in which one extra electron added to the [Fe63-X8)(PEt3)6]2+ is delocalized over six structurally equivalent iron centres. The ground state of the complexes is S = 7/2 and, in our model, it can arise from either a ferromagnetic or an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the unpaired spins on Fe, provided that the sign of the transfer integral p is negative.
