Table 4.

Mulliken spin densities (∣ρs(Fe)∣), quadrupole splittings (∣ΔEQ∣) and isomer shifts (δ) averaged over the Fe sites; hyperfine couplings of Fe (atest) and X (a(X)); and RMS deviations of the individual site hyperfine couplings (ai) for a series of oxidation states and compositions, where +H indicates Ohydroxyl-protonated models.
