Optimised geometries and energies have been calculated for the unidentate, bidentate, and ferrocene-like structures of Fe(II) pentazoles of the form MN5 and M′(N5)2, (M = FeCl, M′
= Fe) using the UB3LYP DFT method with basis sets up to 6-311+G(3df) in order to study the effect of an unfilled d shell on the stability of the singlet, triplet, and quintet states; the ground state is a quintet and the quintet has a lower barrier to decomposition than the singlet.
