61. 2-state OEC model in this paper (also see Ref. [7]) with a "C-shaped" linearly coupled model to make a minimal change from the "dimers of -dimers" model which had been effectively employed in the Babcock H-atom abstraction mechanism. The "triangle+1" is magnetically equivalent in its S=1/2 ground state as long as the three exchange couplings of the core are not equivalent, for example, one no stronger than 1/2 the value of the other two. The current X-ray structural data more resembles the triangle+1 structure, so we use this in the model of Fig. 4.
