Nitrosyl metal cyanides

NITRATE de ZINC (French) (7779-88-6) Noncombustible, but will enhance the combustibility of other materials. Many chemical reactions can cause fire and explosions. A strong oxidizer. Violent reaction with reducing agents, strong oxidizers, combustible materials, organic substances, metallic powders, acetic anhydride, tert-butylhydroperoxide, carbon, dimethylformamide, metal cyanides, metal sulfides, phosphorus, sodium acetylide, sulfur, thiocyanates. Incompatible with amines, ammonium hexacyanoferrate(II), boranes, cyanides, citric acid, esters, hydrazinium perchlorate, isopropyl chlorocarbonate, nitrosyl perchlorate, organic azides, organic bases, sodium thiosulfate, sulfamic acid. Attacks metals in the presence of moisture. 

The spirit is to show some of the results, but also to guide users of the approach by pointing to the problems and limitations of the method. The review covers some of the newer applications in the spectroscopy of organic molecules acetone, methylenecyclopropene, biphenyl, bithiophene, the protein chromophores indole and imidazole, and a series of radical cations of conjugated polyenes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The applications in transition metal chemistry include carbonyl, nitrosyl, and cyanide complexes, some dihalogens, and the chromium dimer. 

Carbonyl Nitric Oxides. Another group of metal-carbonyl complexes, worthy of investigation as CVD precursors, consists of the carbonyl nitric oxides. In these complexes, one (or more) CO group is replaced by NO. An example is cobalt nitrosyl tricarbonyl, CoNO(CO)3, which is a preferred precursor for the CVD of cobalt. It is a liquid with a boiling point of 78.6°C which decomposes at 66°C. It is prepared by passing NO through an aqueous solution of cobalt nitrate and potassium cyanide and potassium hydroxide. ... 

Reduction of metal-nitrosyl complexes is a prominent subject in the redox chemistry of small nitrogenated molecules, most relevant to biochemistry and to natural nitrogen-redox cycles.11 MnNO+ complexes have low-energy LUMOs and undergo facile one-electron reduction, usually showing reversible CV waves associated with MNO+/MNO redox couples.4"-6 The MNO 6 complexes yield fairly stable MNO 7 species in solution, as evident from UV-vis, IR, and EPR. Some of the latter species release NO in the minute time scale alternatively, the [Fe(CN)5NO]3 and [Ru(NH3)5NO]2+ ions may lose cyanide or ammonia.4"-6 Some metallopor-phyrins also afford reversible conversion between MNO1 / MNO forms.21 The NiR enzymes release NO after nitrite coordination and reduction.11...
