Summary:This study provides insights into the electronic structure of an atomically precise Fe/Co Se cluster and the extent of redox cooperativity between the Fe active site and the noninnocent Co Se support. Chemical oxidation studies enable the isolation of two types of oxidized Fe/Co Se clusters, in which the nature of the counterion (I or OTf ) significantly impacts the structural interactions between Fe and the Co Se unit. Experimental characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction, Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, and P{ H} NMR spectroscopy is complemented by computational analysis. In aggregate, the study reveals that upon oxidation, the charge is shared between the Fe edge site and the Co Se core.
