Nitrogen monoxide

Nitrogen monoxide is a radical (see Section 15.8). Its bonding closely resembles that of CO, and can be represented as in Fig. 2.15 with the addition of one electron into a 7r (2p) orbital. The NO molecule can bind to a low oxidation state metal atom in a similar way to CO, and once coordinated NO is known as a nitrosyl ligand. However, unlike CO, terminally bound NO can adopt two different bonding modes linear or bent (see the end of Section 20.4). In the linear mode (24.27), NO donates 

Series of related carbonyl and nitrosyl complexes exist, e.g. Fe(CO)s and Fe(CO)2(NO)2, and Cr(CO)6 and Cr(NO 4. The differences in numbers of ligands can be rationalized by applying the 18-electron rule (see the exercises below). 

Nitrosyl ligands may also adopt bridging modes, acting as a 3-electron donor (24.29). 

The molecules N2 and CO are isoelectronic, and the bonding description in Fig. 24.1 can be qualitatively applied to N2 complexes (see Section 22.9), although it must be remembered that the MOs of N2 have equal atomic orbital contributions from each atom. Complexes of N2 are not as stable as those of CO, and far fewer examples are known. Terminal M N=N units are linear (like a terminal M C=0), but bridging N2 ligands do not mimic bridging CO groups (see stmeture 22.58 and discussion). 

The isotopically labelled compound Ni( N2)4 has been formed in an N2 matrix. The IR spectrum shows an absorption close to 2180cm. This band also appears in the Raman spectmm of Ni( N2)4, along with a band at 2251 cm. The latter is absent in the IR spectrum. Both absorptions arise from coordinated N2 stretching modes. Use these data to deduce the point group of Ni( N2)4. Sketch diagrams to show the modes of vibration and assign symmetry labels to them. 

The IR spectrum of Os(NO)2(PPh3)2 exhibits an absorption at 1600 cm assigned to v o- This lies on the border between the ranges for bent and linear OsNO units. Suggest why you might conclude that the bonding mode is linear.

NO. Nitric oxide, or nitrogen monoxide, is a colorless gas at room temperature. As we have already seen, it is industrially produced by the oxidation of ammonia. However, with respect to the urban envirorunent, a more significant process is the high temperature reaction of N2 with O2 (as in a car engine) to produce NO. 

The experimental results imply that the main reaction (eq. 1) is an equilibrium reaction and first order in nitrogen monoxide and iron chelate. The equilibrium constants at various temperatures were determined by modeling the experimental NO absorption profile using the penetration theory for mass transfer. Parameter estimation using well established numerical methods (Newton-Raphson) allowed detrxmination of the equilibrium constant (Fig. 1) as well as the ratio of the diffusion coefficients of Fe"(EDTA) andNO[3].
