Popis: Bonding between NO and the Fe(II) center to form so-called {FeNO} 7 unit has been studied using simplistic Fe(NO)(OH) 2 system within the unrestricted density functional theory using hybrid and pure exchange-correlation functionals. To analyze in details the obtained unrestricted solution for ground state with S z = 3/2 corresponding Kohn–Sham determinant is expanded in the basis of Lowdin–Amos–Hall paired orbitals. This expansion allowed us to assign the electron structure of {FeNO} 7 unit as a mixture of charge-transfer configurations {Fe + ⋯NO + } and {Fe 3+ ⋯NO − }, and the covalent configuration {Fe 2+ = NO 0 }.
