Hillebrandt, W. ; Mueller, E. Abstract The properties of matter in strong and superstrong magnetic fields (B 5 x gauss) are reconsidered. By slightly improving and correcting previous calculations it is shown that molecular chains are only slightly bound with respect to free atoms. For B = 1012 gauss the cohesive energy is 0.11 keV and 0.29 keV for iron and carbon, respectively. Only at extremely high magnetic fields (B > 5 x 10' gauss), which are probably not present in pulsars, do we get strong binding (>10 keV).
