Molecular modeling and assignment of electronic absorption spectra of mononuclear [Fe(S-2-o-xyl)(2)](2-) and two binuclear [Fe-2(S-2-o-xyl)(3)](2-) isomers were performed by semi-empirical calculations. The comparisons with the available experimental data confirmed the reliability of the semi-empirical ZINDO/S method in predicting the electronic absorption properties of these synthetic model complexes. Calculations with ZINDO/1 have also shown that the syn- binuclear ion is more stable than the anti-Fe 2(S-2-o-xyl)(3)](2-) ion.
