Popis: The nature of electron density transfer upon bond formation between NO ligand and Fe(II) center is analyzed on the basis of DFT calculation for two {Fe–NO} 7 complexes with entirely diverse geometric and electronic structures: Fe II P(NH 3 )NO (with bent Fe–N–O unit) and [Fe II (H 2 O) 5 (NO)] 2+ (with linear Fe–N–O structure). Proper identification of an electronic status of the fragments, “prepared” to make a bond, was found necessary to get meaningful resolution of charge and spin transfer processes from a spin-resolved analysis of natural orbitals for chemical valence. The Fe II P(NH 3 )NO adduct (built of NO 0 (S = 1/2) and Fe II P(NH 3 ) (S = 0) fragments) showed a strong π*-backdonation competing with spin transfer via a σ-donation, yielding significant red-shift of the NO stretching frequency. [Fe II (H 2 O) 5 (NO)] 2+ (built of NO 0 (S = 1/2) antiferromagnetically coupled to Fe II (H 2 O) 5 (S = 2) fragment) gave no noticeable charge or spin transfer between fragments; a slight blue-shift of the NO stretching frequency could be related to a residual π-donation due to weak π-bonding.
