Results of X.alpha. valence bond scattered wave (X.alpha.-VB-SW) calculations were reported for a variety of clusters that mimic the active sites in Fe-S proteins: Fe(SR)41-,2- (R = H, CH3), Fe2S2(SH)42-,3-, and Fe4S4(SCH3)42-,3-. Emphasis is placed on comparisons among the various clusters, including changes in the electron distribution upon reduction, upon going from low spin to high spin, and upon changes in cluster geometry. Estimates are presented based on the calculations of Mossbauer isomer shifts and quadrupole splittings, which lead to a consistent account of many experimental observations. The calculations predict the Fe (bridgingg S) bonds to be stronger than those between Fe and the terminal S atoms; this has interesting structural and spectroscopic implications. To a good approximation, the oxidized 4-Fe complex can be viewed as 2 high-spin reduced 2-Fe clusters, despite the differences in geometry. Some of the implications of these results for structure-function problems in Fe-S proteins are discussed.
