Diffraction Studies of Photoexcited Crystals:  Metastable Nitrosyl-Linkage Isomers of Sodium Nitroprusside

Abstract: The geometries of two known metastable states of sodium nitroprusside dihydrate, Na 2 [Fe(CN) 5 NO]‚2H 2 O, and that of the ground state have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction at 50 K, a temperature at which no decay of metastable-state concentration with time is observed. Data were collected on two laser-excited crystals containing populations of ∼37% of metastable state I (MS 1 ) and ∼10% of metastable state II (MS 2 ), respectively, using imaging plates and a rotating anode source. For MS 1 the apparent ge… Show more

“…The light-induced structural change can be illustrated by a photodifference map (Carducci et al, 1997), which shows the change in electron density upon light exposure and is obtained by Fourier summation with coef®cients equal to the difference between the`on' and`off' structure factors. To construct the photodifference map, the four data sets were brought on a common temperature scale using the ÁB values from the Wilson plot, on a proper relative scale with the Scalepack programs (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997) and on an absolute scale by re®nement of the conventional scale factors against the basic structure.…”

“…Figure 3 shows the two spectra and their deconvolution for a population Psi of SI of about 41%. We observed one new band in the red spectral range around 13200 cnf The fitted parameters of this transition of SI are given in Table II. In the literature the metastable state SI is explained by an elongation of the N-C-bond distances [61 or an inversion of the N-C-bond [7]. In the inversion model the ground state configuration Fe-N-C is inverted by 180' to Fe-O-N in SI.…”

“…The HNO adduct is depicted as N bound, as found in characterized end-on HNO-metal complexes (58). There is much recent evidence for O-bound linkage isomers of metal-nitrosyls, termed isonitrosyls, but these are typically only observed after photolysis at low temperature within a solid or crystalline material (59)(60)(61)(62). The analogous O-bound HNO, isonitroxyl, has never been characterized to our knowledge; theorectical calculations have predicted the O-bound isonitroxyl adduct of Fe porphyrinates would be over 50 kJ∕mol higher in energy than the corresponding N-bound nitroxyl (63).…”
