Abstract
New CoIII-nitrosyl complexes bearing N-tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligands, [(12-TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+ (1) and [(13-TMC)CoIII(NO)]2+ (2), were synthesized via [(TMC)CoII(CH3CN)]2+ + NO(g) reactions. Spectroscopic and structural characterization showed that these compounds bind the nitrosyl moiety in a bent end-on fashion. Complexes 1 and 2 reacted with KO2/2.2.2-cryptand to produce [(12-TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (3) and [(13-TMC)CoII(NO2)]+ (4), respectively; these possess O,O′-chelated nitrito ligands. Mechanistic studies using 18O-labeled superoxide (18O2•-) showed that one O atom in the nitrito ligand is derived from superoxide and the O2 produced comes from the other superoxide O atom. Evidence supporting the formation of a Co-peroxynitrite intermediate is also presented.
