title: Neutral {Fe(NO)2}9 dinitrosyliron complex (DNIC) [(SC6H4-o-NHCOPh)(Im)Fe(NO)2] (Im = imidazole): interconversion among the anionic/neutral {Fe(NO)2}9 DNICs and Roussin's red ester.
abstract: A neutral {Fe(NO)2}9 dinitrosyliron complex (DNIC) [(SC6H4-o-NHCOPh)(Im)Fe(NO)2] (Im = imidazole; 2) was prepared by the reaction of [Fe(mu-SC6H4-o-NHCOPh)(NO)2]2 (1) and 2 equiv of imidazole. In the synthesis of the anionic {Fe(NO)2}9 DNIC [(SC6H4-o-NHCOPh)2Fe(NO)2]- (3), thiolate [SC6H4-o-NHCOPh]- triggers ligand substitution of DNIC 2 to yield DNIC 3. At 298 K, complexes 2 and 3 exhibit well-resolved nine- and five-line electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals at g = 2.031 and 2.029, respectively, the characteristic g value of DNICs. The facile interconversions among the neutral {Fe(NO)2}9 complex 2, the anionic {Fe(NO)2}9 complex 3, and Roussin's red ester 1 were demonstrated. The EPR spectrum (the pattern of hyperfine splitting) in combination with the IR nu(NO) (the relative position of the nu(NO) stretching frequencies) spectrum may serve as an efficient tool for the discrimination of the anionic {Fe(NO)2}9 DNICs, the neutral {Fe(NO)2}9 DNICs, and Roussin's red ester.
