Figure 4

A key “correlated pair” of orbitals from broken-symmetry calculations on LMe,iPrFeNNFeLMe,iPr, showing that there is β spin more localized on the π* orbital of N2. (Sαβ is the value of the overlap integral between the α and β orbitals.) This is consistent with antiferromagnetic coupling of an N22− bridge to two Fe2+ ions.
