Gaseous Fe4Sn-(n= 4−6) clusters and synthetic analogue complexes, Fe4S4Ln-(L = Cl, Br, I;n= 1−4), were produced by laser vaporization of a solid Fe/S target and electrospray from solution samples, respectively, and their electronic structures were probed by photoelectron spectroscopy. Low binding energy features derived from minority-spin Fe 3d electrons were clearly distinguished from S-derived bands. We showed that the electronic structure of the simplest Fe4S4-cubane cluster can be described by the two-layer spin-coupling model previously developed for the [4Fe] cubane analogues. The photoelectron data revealed that each extra S atom in Fe4S5-and Fe4S6-removes two minority-spin Fe 3d electrons from the [4Fe−4S] cubane core and each halogen ligand removes one Fe 3d electron from the cubane core in the Fe4S4Ln-complexes, clearly revealing a behavior of sequential oxidation of the cubane over five formal oxidation states: [4Fe−4S]-→ [4Fe−4S]0→ [4Fe−4S]+→ [4Fe−4S]2+→ [4Fe−4S]3+. The current work shows the electron-storage capability of the [4Fe−4S] cubane, contributes to the understanding of its electronic structure, and further demonstrates the robustness of the cubane as a structural unit and electron-transfer center.
