Inorganic chemistry paramagnetic complex

It has long been known that NO forms colored, paramagnetic complexes with many transition metals (Kon, 1968 Yonetoni et al., 1972 Chevion et al., 1977 Hilleetai., 1979 Morse and Chen, 1980 HorietaL, 1981 LoBrutto et al., 1983 Kon, 1975 Kon and Katakoa, 1969) the inorganic chemistry literature goes back at least to the early years of the twentienth century. Because NO has an odd...
