Abstract
The electrochemical behaviours of two hexa-iron clusters 1 and 2 are investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. The results show that cluster 1 capture one electron more readily than cluster 2 and the central 6CO can be reduced easier than sub-site 6CO and 5CO in the cluster 1, which are associated with that the electron withdrawing effect of 5CO sub-unit by Fe-S bond is more significant than 6CO bond linkage by S. This conversion can be reversed by continuously purging CO through the solution of the cluster 1.
