triphenylporphyrinato)cobalt(II) ({Co(M4PyTPP)} (I) and {Co(M3PyTPP)} (II), respectively) form coordination oligomers upon standing. Interaction of NO(15 NO) gas with these systems results in the formation of penta-and hexacoordinated nitrosyl complexes, the sixth coordination site of which is occupied by pyridyl group of adjacent molecule in the layer. The FTIR spectral data demonstrate that the long-term exposure of these systems under O 2 results in oxidation of the nitrosyl complexes with formation of hexacoordinated nitrato complexes and the reaction proceeds predominantly with hexacoordinated nitrosyls. Мechanism of oxidation more likely includes the dissociation of NO from the hexacoordinated complex followed by O 2 trapping of resulting (-4(3)Py)Co(M4(3)PyTPP) to give (-4(3)Py) Co(M4(3)PyTPP)(O 2), which then reacts rapidly with NO by the nitric oxide dioxygenation reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
