Three redox states of nitrosyl: NO+, NO*, and NO-/HNO interconvert reversibly on the same pentacyanoferrate(II) platform.
Not so elusive: [Fe(II)(CN)(5)(HNO)](3-) has been characterized spectroscopically after the two-electron reduction of nitroprusside (see scheme). The complex is stable at pH 6, slowly decomposing to [Fe(CN)(6)](4-) and N(2)O. It is deprotonated at increasing pH value with oxidation of bound NO(-) to [Fe(II)(CN)(5)(NO)](3-). [Fe(II)(CN)(5)(HNO)](3-) is the first non-heme iron-nitroxyl complex prepared in aqueous solution that is reversibly redox-active under biologically relevant conditions.
