ReviewNO and NO2 as non-innocent ligands: A comparison
Section snippets
Introduction: The NOn ligands
The chemistry of the NOx molecules (x = 1, 2) has been increasingly researched because of their analytical, industrial, environmental and physiological significance [1]. In many cases the NOx forms are associated with metal partners such as on metal particles or surfaces, in metal complexes or in metalloenzymes. In connection with metal centers M, the non-innocence of the “nitrosyl” species NOn in coordination compounds Mm(NOn) has been recognized early, defined in a pioneering article in this
The potential for NO2 ligand non-innocence
In contrast to the plethora of examples for well studied Mm(NOn) compounds and their redox series [6], [7], [8], [9] there is a surprising lack of similar information available on the formally related series of coordination compounds Mm(NO2n). Neither the linear nitronium cation NO2+ nor the stable radical NO2 from Fig. 3 have been identified as ligands in well characterized complexes [16], [17]; only the nitrite ion (n = −1) with its ambidentate ligand characteristics (Fig. 4 [18]) has been
A ruthenium example for NOn and NO2n coordination
Employing ruthenium as the much more inertly binding homologue of iron [27] a corresponding platform has been developed to investigate the redox activities of both coordinated (NO)n and (NO2)n. The platform contains mer tridentate chelate ligands such as terpy (2,2′:6,2″-terpyridine) or tppz (2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine, Fig. 6) [28], and a non-innocent bidentate ligand based on the o-amidophenolato/o-iminobenzosemiquinonato/o-iminobenzoquinone redox system ([29], Fig. 7). The latter
Conclusion
The case study from Chapter 3 thus used a metal complex framework containing
- (i)
one tridentate terpy or tppz as largely innocent spectator ligand (in this context),
- (ii)
one non-innocent unsymmetrical bidentate ligand belonging to the popular [29] o-iminobenzoquinone/o-iminobenzosemiquinone/o-amidophenolate redox series, and one monodentate ligand (Fig. 12):

Structural, spectral, and photoreactivity properties of mono and polymetallated-2,2′-bipyridine ruthenium(II) complexes
2022, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The human body produces nitric oxide, which is a molecule of a key role in biological functions such as neurotransmission and blood pressure control [1–3]. Nitrosyl metal complexes are of great interest as NO delivery agents, [4–8], while the non-innocence character of NOx species (x = 1+, 0, −1, and −2) is a constant challenge for researchers [9]. It is well known that ruthenium forms many nitrosyls and new complexes are still emerging, expanding the field as electronic structure, Ru-NO bonding, and reactivity are the focal point as seen in general reviews [6,10–12].
Chemistry of diazadiene type ligands with extra coordination groups. Prospects of reactivity
2020, Coordination Chemistry ReviewsCitation Excerpt :The idea of this outlook is not to present a full comprehensive review on the topic of DAD redox non-innocence with any transition or non-transition metal; we rather present some general illustrative examples to show how these O-, N-, P-, S- compartments affect DAD redox transformations. More detailed information on the coordination abilities of the unmentioned ligand systems can be found in a lot of relevant references: type 1 and 2 [17], type 4 [18], type 5 [19], type 7 [20], type 8[21]. The main method of synthesis of DAD ligands is based on the condensation reaction of various glyoxals, ketoaldehydes and diketones with primary (both aliphatic and aromatic) amines in the presence of organic acids (formic, acetic, p-toluenesulfonic acid) or Lewis acids [22–24].
