Percentages given are for the sample of Figs. 2A and 3A. Samples from two other preparations had less Fe(III)–Fe(III) (≈35% and 50%). Numbers in square brackets give an estimated range of fractions compatible with our data. 

Quoted relative to Fe metal at 298 K. 

Numbers in parentheses represent estimated uncertainties in the last significant digit.

Monomeric high-spin Fe(III) of Fig. 3B; the magnetic hyperfine tensor used for simulation was A = −(27, 28, 29) MHz, ΔEQ = 0.7 mm/s, and δ = 0.45 mm/s. The use of an anisotropic A tensor provides the flexibility to account for the possible presence of multiple species with slightly different A values.
