Fe4S4 clusters exist in 5 oxidation states and a large number of spin
multiplicities. You should expect to spend quite a bit of time reading about
this subject if you expect to carry out reasonable calculations here. [For
example, you will need to learn about Heisenberg spin ladders and
broken-symmetry calculations.]

Do you really need to geometry optimize such a cluster?

There are lots of papers about the electronic structure of iron-sulfur
clusters at my web site, http://casegroup.rutgers.edu.
