Hi,
 We created LJ params for the ferrous iron, but not ferric (http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct400146w and http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ct400751u?prevSearch=pengfei%2Bli&searchHistoryKey=). We might be willing to create these for you if you are dissatisfied with what is out there. We can create a 12-6 or a 12-6-4 model depending on how you want to proceed. To create a bonded model for the coordination environment you can use MCPB. Good luck, Kennie
