Abstract
An electrostatic model for tetranuclear iron-sulfur (Fe4S4) clusters is derived for the first time from Kirkwood's theory and is used to calculate differences (ΔE) in the redox potential between each redox step of the Fe4S4 clusters. The calculated ΔE values are in generally good agreement with the experimental data. The theoretical dependency of ΔE on the dielectric constant of ligand moiety is also supported experimentally by using macrocyclic-ligand-type Fe4S4 clusters.
