*From Mössbauer data analyzed with an S = 1 Hamiltonian (34).

From ENDOR data, S = 1 (19).

Refit of Mössbauer data reported in ref. 15 using g values and zero-field splitting parameters derived from more recent high-field EPR data reported in ref. 35.

§This work; B3LYP calculations yield a good match for A(57Fe).

This work; data analyzed with Eq. 1; 4.2 K Mössbauer spectra recorded at 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0 T show that Ax(57Fe) and Ay(57Fe) of 2 and 2-H+ are negative, see SI Appendix, Fig. S4. The z axis is along the Fe─O bond in all systems. Results for 2 apply to the majority species.

Values for the Inline graphic model obtained from DFT calculations using BP86 functionals (see below).

**Relative to g, A(17O) and A(14N) are rotated 8º around the z axis of the g-tensor.

††From ref. 14.

‡‡Correcting Az for the orbital contribution, which is proportional to (gz - 2), would yield Az ∼ 0.
