Ay. Ershov et Ab. Nikolskii, ISOTOPIC EXCHANGE KINETICS AND MECHANISMS INVOLVING THE LINEAR COORDINATED NITROSYL GROUP, Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Chemistry, 42(3), 1994, pp. 335-340
The kinetics and mechanisms of nitrogen isotopic exchange between nitr
ite ion or nitric oxide and nitrosyl group in six-coordinate transitio
n metal complexes comprising linear MNO fragment have been studied. Th
e lability of the M-NO linkage in compounds of [MNOX5]q (M = Fe, Ru, X
= CN, q = -2; M = Cr, X = CN, q = -3; M = Ru, Os, X = Cl, Br, q = -2;
M = Ru, X = NH3, q = +3) has been shown to be dependent upon its stre
ngth and electrophilic properties of coordinated NO.
