Both vanadium and molybdenum cofactor clusters are found in nitrogenase. In biomimetic research, many fewer heterometal MFe3S4 cubane-type clusters have been synthesized with M = V than with M = Mo because of the well-established structural relationship of the latter to the molybdenum coordination unit in the enzyme. In this work, a series of single cubane and edge-bridged double cubane clusters containing the cores [VFe3(mu3-S)4]2+ and [V2Fe6(mu3-S)6(mu4-S)2]2+ have been prepared by ligand substitution of the phosphine clusters [(Tp)VFe3S4(PEt3)3]1+ and [(Tp)2V2Fe6S8(PEt3)4]. The single cubanes [(Tp)VFe3S4L3]2- and double cubanes [(Tp)2V2Fe6S8L4]4- (L= F-, N3-, CN-, PhS-) are shown by X-ray structures to have trigonal symmetry and centrosymmetry, respectively. Single cubanes form the three-member electron transfer series [(Tp)VFe3S4L3]3-,2-,1-. The ligand dependence of redox potentials and electron distribution in cluster cores as sensed by 57Fe isomer shifts (delta) have been determined. Comparison of these results with those previously determined for the analogous molybdenum clusters (Pesavento, Berlinguette, and Holm Inorg. Chem. 2007, 46, 510) allows detection of the influence of heterometal M on the properties. At constant M and variable L, redox potentials are lowest for pi-donor ligands and largest for cyanide and relate approximately with decreasing ferrous character in clusters with constant charge z = 2-. At constant L and z and variable M, EV &gt; E(Mo) and delta(av)V &lt; delta(av)Mo, demonstrating that M = Mo clusters are more readily oxidized and suggesting a qualitative relation between lower potentials (greater ease of oxidation) and ferrous character.
