Crystal structure, electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of the trans-K{[FeCl(NO0)(cyclam)]·[FeCl(NO+)(cyclam)]2}(PF6)6 complex

Abstract

The trans-K{[FeCl(NO0)(cyclam)]·[FeCl(NO+)(cyclam)]2}(PF6)6 complex was prepared from the reaction of trans-[Fe(cyclam)Cl2]Cl and nitric oxide. The molecular structure of the complex was determined by X-ray diffraction (space group P21/c; a = 10.3560(3) Å; b = 17.7110(6) Å; c = 17.9480(6) Å; β = 91.052(2)°). Crystal and spectroscopic evidence indicates the existence of two independent complexes with participation of different forms of nitric oxide: NO+ and NO0. The IR spectrum shows the presence of two ν(NO) stretching modes at 1863 and 1610 cm−1 which are characteristic of these NO species, respectively. Upon reduction by zinc amalgam, the ν(NO+) band at 1863 cm−1 disappears and the band at 1610 cm−1 becomes more intense. The EPR measurements indicate the presence of the NO0 group. No signal for paramagnetic species of Fe(III) was observed.
