  1. The cluster charges are differing from 0 to − 12 (GR3 × 6(0) to GR3 × 6(− 12)), i.e. Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratios from 3/16 to 15/4. Δ1O-I denotes the difference between minimum and maximum NUE of outer and inner Fe, respectively; Δ2O-I denotes the difference between average NUEs of outer and inner Fe atoms, respectively; Δ1I-C denotes the difference between minimum and maximum NUE of inner and central Fe atoms, respectively; Δ2I-C denotes the difference between average NUEs of inner and central Fe atoms, respectively. The NUE details of GR3×6 models can be seen in the Additional file 1: Table S3
