The unusually low magnetic moments of octanuclear complexes containing [Fe 4 S 4 (NCML n ) 4 ] cluster ions (shown below) are unprecedented in the chemistry of Fe 4 S 4 clusters and ferredoxins. The new compounds are redox‐active mixed‐valence complexes containing iron centers in the oxidation state +2.5 and show intense intervalence transfer absorptions.
