Electron collision strengths of the lowest 4 configurations of Fe II were computed in the close coupling approximation using a 2 configuration basis. These data contain the first set of quantum mechanically calculated collision strengths; the calculated level population densities for a6/D and the term populations for a4/F, a4/D, and a4/P which can estimate the probability of the appearance of absorption lines may be involved in exciting the upper states. A comparison with observed energy separations indicated some incorrect eigenfunctions; the configuration basis for a correct representation of the a4/F term must include 3d/7 and 3d/6/4d, concluding that a larger multiconfiguration basis is required.
