Nitric oxide coordination

Taking into account the electron density relocation (Table 2.4) two routes of NO adsorption can be distinguished. Thus, the nitric oxide coordinates to the monovalent Cr, Ni, and Cu ions in an oxidative way (A<2M > 0), whereas for the rest of the TMIs in a reductive way (AgM < 0). Although this classification is based on the rather simplified criteria, it is well substantiated by experimental observations. Examples of reductive adsorption are provided by interaction of NO with NinSi02 and NinZSM-5, leading at T > 200 K to a Ni -NOs+ adduct identified by the characteristic EPR signal [71]. At elevated temperatures, similar reduction takes place for ConZSM-5 [63], whereas in the case of Cu ZSM-5 part of the monovalent copper is oxidized by NO to Cu2+, as it can readily be inferred from IR and EPR spectra [72,73], This point is discussed in more detail elsewhere [4,57],... 

Nitric oxide coordinated to iron modifies, in a striking manner, the properties and reactivity of free NO (Sec. 6.2). Probably the most famous such coordinated entity is the nitroprusside ion, Fe(CN)5NO . An incisive review of its reactions particularly related to its hypertensive action (it reduces blood pressure of severely hypertensive patients) is available. Nitroprusside ion reacts with a variety of bases...

In this section the reactivity of metal nitrosyl complexes is discussed and related to the NO coordination mode. A considerable difference between the chemistry of nitric oxide and carbon monoxide complexes has already been noted. The reactivity of nitric oxide coordinated to transition metal centers, and of nitrosyl clusters, were thoroughly reviewed in 1979 by McCleverty (7) and in 1985 by Gladfelter 11), respectively therefore only a summary is presented here. Nucleophilic reactions of linear nitrosyl groups will not be considered. 

NO rate constants and activation parameters determined for nitric oxide binding to a five-coordinate monohydroxido species Fe (TMPS)(OH) (formed at pH > 6.9) (12) appear to be significandy smaller than those found for the (TMPS)Fe(H20)2 species (Table 1), clearly showing that NO coordination to Fe (TMPS)(OH) can no longer be controlled by the lability or accessibihty of the iron(III) center. In contrast to the mechanism of NO binding to iron(III) diaqua-ligated species, nitric oxide coordination to... 

Unlike nitric oxide, NO, the monomeric radical sulfur nitride, NS, is only known as a short-lived intermediate in the gas phase. Nevertheless the properties of this important diatomic molecule have been thoroughly investigated by a variety of spectroscopic and other physical techniques (Section 5.2.1). The NS molecule is stabilized by coordination to a transition metal and a large number of complexes, primarily with metals from Groups 6, 7, 8 and 9, are known. Several detailed reviews of the topic have been published. ...

In addition to intracellular heme-containing proteins, big-conductance calcium-dependent K+ (BKCa) channels and calcium-spark activated transient Kca channels in plasma membrane are also tar geted by CO [3]. As well known, nitric oxide (NO) also activates BKca channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. While both NO and CO open BKCa channels, CO mainly acts on alpha subunit of BKCa channels and NO mainly acts on beta subunit of BKca channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. Rather than a redundant machinery, CO and NO provide a coordinated regulation of BKca channel function by acting on different subunits of the same protein complex. Furthermore, pretreatment of vascular smooth muscle... 

Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with organoiron(IIl) porphyrins to form six-coordinate adducts, Fe(Por)(R)(NO), Other small molecules (Oi. SO2. CO) react by insertion into the Fe—C bond, although the nature of the reaction and the stability of the products varies greatly with both the molecule itself and the organoiron group. 

Of crucial significance in deciding between various models have been estimates of the number of copper atoms required to transform the surface into a (2 x 3)N phase. This was the approach adopted by Takehiro et al 2 in their study of NO dissociation at Cu(110). They concluded that by determining the stoichiometry of the (2 x 3)N phase that there is good evidence for a pseudo-(100) model, where a Cu(ll0) row penetrates into the surface layer per three [ll0]Cu surface rows. It is the formation of the five-coordinated N atoms that drives the reconstruction. The authors are of the view that their observations are inconsistent with the added-row model. The structure of the (2 x 3)N phase produced by implantation of nitrogen atoms appears to be identical with that formed by the dissociative chemisorption of nitric oxide. 

Our DFT calculations revealed that coordination of nitric oxide to the series of intrazeolite TMI leads to the formation of the bent MNO adducts of various spin states exhibiting generally the Cs microsymmetry with mirror plane defined by the M-N-0 moiety. Optimized structures of some representative mononitrosyl complexes are depicted in Figure 2.8, and their selected geometric parameters and molecular properties are listed in Table 2.4. 

From the inspection of the data in Table 2.4, it is clear that NO changes its original molecular character after adsorption. In general, coordination of nitric oxide leads to a pronounced redistribution of the electron and spin densities, accompanied by modification of the N-0 bond order and its polarization. Thus, in the case of the (MNO 7 10 and ZnNO 11 species, slender shortening of the N-0 bond is observed, whereas for the MNO 6 and CuNO 11 complexes it is distinctly elongated. Interestingly, polarization of the bound nitric oxide assumes its extreme values in the complexes of the same formal electron count ( NiNO 10 and CuNO 10) exhibiting however different valence.

The nitric oxide molecule has one unpaired electron residing in an antibonding -rr molecular orbital. When that electron is removed, the bond order increases from 2.5 to 3, so in coordinating to metals, NO usually behaves as though it donates three electrons. The result is formally the same as if one electron were lost to the metal,...
