Abstract
Multiconfiguration quantum chemical calculation of geometry and electron properties of Fe2Si18 cluster indicates on the predictable change of spin states as a function of the excitation energy beginning from ground state with the total spin S = 4. The charges on the two Fe atoms are quite different as well as the charge distribution on the surrounding Si atoms. Nevertheless the total dipole moment of the cluster is a monotonically decreasing function of the excitation energy and it reaches practically zero value in the first singlet state in which the cluster represents a new version of a quibit system.
