The ground-state energy of iron atoms and molecular chains in superstrong magnetic fields (1-5 10 to the 12th Gauss) is recalculated. A 10 percent higher binding energy of the atoms and only a 1 percent higher binding energy of the molecular chains are found as compared to a previous investigation (Flowers et al., 1977). Therefore the calculations suggest that atoms are energetically more favorable than molecular chains in contradiction to the earlier results of Flowers et al. (1977). In addition, similar calculations for helium atoms and molecular chains have been performed. In this case it is found that, for B = 1 x 10 to the 12th Gauss the chains are bound with 50 eV relative to the free atoms. For B = 5 x 10 to the 12th Gauss the cohesive energy amounts to 190 eV.
