NO* release from MbFe(II)NO and HbFe(II)NO after oxidation by peroxynitrite

In this work, we showed that the reaction of peroxynitrite with MbFe(II)NO, in analogy to the corresponding reaction with HbFe(II)NO (Herold, S. Inorg. Chem. 2004, 43, 3783-3785), proceeds in two steps via the formation of MbFe(III)NO, from which NO* dissociates to produce iron(III)myoglobin (Mb = myoglobin; Hb = hemoglobin). The second-order rate constants for the first steps are on the order of 10(4) and 10(3) M(-1) s(-1), for the reaction of peroxynitrite with MbFe(II)NO and HbFe(II)NO, respectively. For both proteins, we found that the values of the second-order rate constants increase with decreasing pH, an observation that suggests that HOONO is the species responsible for oxidation of the iron center. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that the pH-dependence arises from different conformations taken up by the proteins at different pH values. In the presence of 1.2 mM CO2, the values of the second-order rate constants are larger, on the order of 10(5) and 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), for the reaction of peroxynitrite with MbFe(II)NO and HbFe(II)NO, respectively. The pH-dependence of the values for the reaction with MbFe(II)NO suggests that ONOOCO2- or the radicals produced from its decay (CO3*-/NO2*) are responsible for the oxidation of MbFe(II)NO to MbFe(III)NO. In the presence of large amounts of nitrite (in the tens and hundreds of millimoles range), we observed a slight acceleration of the rate of oxidation of HbFe(II)NO by peroxynitrite. A catalytic rate constant of 40 +/- 2 M(-1) s(-1) was determined at pH 7.0. Preliminary studies of the reaction between nitrite and HbFe(II)NO showed that this compound also can oxidize the iron center, albeit at a significantly slower rate. At pH 7.0, we obtained an approximate second-order rate constant of 3 x 10(-3) M(-1) s(-1).     

Interactions in the Quinary System H2O-Y(NO3)3-La(NO3)3-Pr(NO3)3-Nd(NO3)3 to Very High Concentrations

Isopiestic measurements have been carried out for the quinary system H₂O-Y(NO₃)₃-La(NO₃)₃-Pr(NO₃)₃-Nd(NO₃)₃ at 298.15 K to near saturation. The measurements can be represented within experimental uncertainty over the full concentration range by a modified Pitzer ion-interaction model extending to the C ⁽³⁾ term. In addition, the system obeys the Zdanovskii–Stokes–Robinson model or partial ideal solution model within the accuracy of the isopiestic measurements, indicating zero interchange energy between the unlike salts, which is consistent with the nature of trivalent rare-earth elements.     

Temperature dependence of the vibrational deactivation of NO(ν = 1) and NO(ν = 2) by NO

The temperature dependence of the vibrational relaxation of NO(ν = 1) and NO(ν = 2) by NO has been investigated over the range 220–470K. The vibrationally excited NO was produced by the pulse radiolysis of dilute NO-Ar mixtures and temporal dependence of the NO(ν = 1) and NO(ν = 2) followed by UV absorption spectrophotometry. The results for the self-relaxation of NO(ν = 1) are in good agreement with previous measurements exhibiting a minimum in the relaxation rate constant near 300 K; however, the results for the V-V exchange between NO(ν = 2) and NO(ν = 0) are approximately a factor of two smaller that the results calculated from the relaxation rate constant of the reverse 1+1 process and detailed balance at 300 K. The temperature dependence of the V-V exchange rate constant is in good agreement with calculated estimates based on Rapp's SSH theory for V-V transfer. The long-range dipole-dipole formulation must be extended to other than ¹Σ state systems in order to explicitly take into account the influence of spin-orbit coupling on the state-to-state rate constants for vibrational relaxation.     

Anhydrous Nitrates and Nitrosonium Nitratometallates of Manganese and Cobalt,M(NO3)2, NO[Mn(NO3)3], and (NO)2[Co(NO3)4]: Synthesis and Crystal Structure

Crystalline NO[Mn(NO₃)₃] ( I ) and (NO)₂[Co(NO₃)₄] ( II ) were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding metal and a liquid N₂O₄/ethylacetate mixture. I is orthorhombic, Pca2₁, a = 9.414(2), b = 15.929(3), c = 10.180(2) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0286. II is monoclinic, C2/c, a = 14.463(3), b = 19.154(4), c = 13.724(3) Å, β = 120.90(3), Z = 12, R₁ = 0.0890. Structure I consists of [Mn(NO₃)₃]^– sheets with NO⁺ cations between them. Two types of Mn atoms have CN_Mn = 7 and 8. Structure II is ionic containing isolated [Co(NO₃)₄]‐anions and NO⁺ cations with CN_Co = 8. Crystals of Mn(NO₃)₂ ( III ) and Co(NO₃)₂ ( IV ) were obtained by concentration of metal nitrate hydrate solutions in 100% HNO₃ in a desiccator with P₂O₅. III is cubic, Pa 3, a = 7.527(2) Å, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0987. IV is trigonal, R 3, a = 10.500(2), c = 12.837(3) Å, Z = 12, R₁ = 0.0354. The three dimensional structure III is isotypic to the strontium and barium dinitrates. Structure IV contains a three dimensional network of interconnected Co(NO₃)_6/3 units with a distorted octahedral coordination environment of Co atoms. General correlations between central atom coordination and coordination modes of NO₃ groups are discussed.

Ag shows a distorted tetrahedral coordination with four relatively close O. K is irregularily surrounded by ten O. The isotypic compounds NH₄Ag(NO₃)₂ and RbAg(NO₃)₂ were refined toR=0.032 and 0.035, respectively. The coordination figures are compareable with those in KAg(NO₃)₂.

     

Synthesis and crystal structures of zirconium(IV) nitrate complexes (NO2)[Zr(NO3)3(H2O)3]2(NO3) 3, Cs[Zr(NO3)5], and (NH4)[Zr(NO3)5](HNO3)

The zirconium nitrate complexes (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]₂(NO₃)₃ (1), Cs[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((2), (NH₄)[Zr(NO₃)₅](HNO₃) (3), and (NO₂)_0.23(NO)_0.77[Zr(NO₃)₅] ((4) were prepared by crystallization from nitric acid solutions in the presence of H₂SO₄ or P₂O₅. The complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of 1 consists of nitrate anions, nitronium cations, and [Zr(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃]⁺ complex cations in which the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by three water molecules and three bidentate nitrate groups. The coordination polyhedron of the Zr^IV atom is a tricapped trigonal prism formed by nine oxygen atoms. The island structures of 2 and 3 contain [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anions and Cs⁺ or NH₄ ⁺ cations, respectively. In addition, complex 3 contains HNO₃ molecules. Complex 4 differs from (NO₂)[Zr(NO₃)₅] in that three-fourth of the nitronium cations in 4 are replaced by nitrosonium cations NO⁺, resulting in a decrease in the unit cell parameters. In the [Zr(NO₃)₅]^? anion involved in complexes 2–4, the Zr^IV atom is coordinated by five bidentate nitrate groups and has an unusually high coordination number of 10. The coordination polyhedron is a bicapped square antiprism.     

New Volatile Nitronium Nitratometalates: NO2[Fe(NO3)4] and NO2[Zr(NO3)5] — Synthesis and Crystal Structure

Crystalline NO₂[Fe(NO₃)₄] was obtained by dehydration of a solution of Fe(NO₃)₃ in 100 % HNO₃ and subsequent sublimation. NO₂[Zr(NO₃)₅] was synthesized by reaction of ZrCl₄ with N₂O₅ followed by sublimation in vacuum. X‐ray single crystal structure determination showed both compounds to consist of nitronium cations, NO₂⁺, and nitratometalate anions. N‐O distances in the linear NO₂⁺ cations are in the range of 1.08—1.13Å. In both [Fe(NO₃)₄]⁻ and [Zr(NO₃)₅]⁻ anions, all nitrate groups are coordinated bidentately with average M‐O distances 2.134 and 2.293Å, respectively. Taking into account the position of N atoms around the M atoms, the arrangement of nitrate groups can be described as tetrahedral for the Fe complex and trigonal‐bipyramidal for the Zr complex. There are four shortest N(nitronium)····O(nitrate group) contacts with average distances of 2.705 and 2.726Å in NO₂[Fe(NO₃)₄] and 2.749Å in NO₂[Zr(NO₃)₅]. Nitronium pentanitratohafnate is isotypic to the zirconium complex.     

Neue Nitrosylkomplexe des Rheniums: ReCl3(NO)2, ReCl3(NO)2(CH3CN), AsPh4[ReCl4(NO)2]

New Nitrosyl Complexes of Rhenium: ReCl₃(NO)₂, ReCl₃(NO)₂(CH₃CN), AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] ReCl₃(NO)₂, which is associated via chlorine bridges, was obtained in quantitative yield from rhenium pentachloride and trichloro nitromethane. Using acetonitrile, the monomer complex ReCl₃(NO)₂(CH₃CN) can be obtained from it, from which AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] arises with tetraphenylarsoniumchloride. The i.r. spectra are reported and assigned. The crystal structures were determined for the latter two compounds with the help of X-ray diffraction data. ReCl₃(NO)₂(CH₃CN) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with four molecules per unit cell, AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4/n with two formula units. In all three compounds, the two NO groups linked to a Re atom are arranged cis to one another. As the anion in AsPh₄[ReCl₄(NO)₂] is situated on a fourfold axis, the cis-configuration causes a statistical disorder in the crystal.     

Systeme ternaire: H2O-Zn(NO3)2-NH4NO3

The solid-liquid equilibria of the ternary system H₂O-Zn(NO₃)₂-NH₄NO₃ were studied by using a synthetic method based on conductivity measurements. Two isotherms were established at -25 and -20°C, and the stable solid phases which appear are: Ice, NH₄NO₃ , Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and Zn(NO₃)₂·8H₂O Neither double salts, nor mixed crystals are observed at these temperatures and composition range. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Simultaneous determination of SO(2), NO and NO(2) in air by differential pulse polarography

The method of Garber and Wilson for SO(2) determination has been tested on real samples of air. The results demonstrate the possibility of simultaneous determination of SO(2), NO and NO(2) in the sample. Detection limits as low as 7 mul/m(3) for SO(2) and about 50 mul/m(3) for nitric oxides can be reached.

Insight into the dinuclear {Fe(NO)2}10{Fe(NO)2}10 and mononuclear {Fe(NO)2}10 dinitrosyliron complexes

The reversible redox transformations [(NO)(2)Fe(S(t)Bu)(2)](-) ? [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2)(2-) ? [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2)(-) ? [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2) and [cation][(NO)(2)Fe(SEt)(2)] ? [cation](2)[(NO)(2)Fe(SEt)(2)] (cation = K(+)-18-crown-6 ether) are demonstrated. The countercation of the {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) dinitrosyliron complexes (DNICs) functions to control the formation of the {Fe(NO)(2)}(10){Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced Roussin's red ester (RRE) [PPN](2)[Fe(μ-SR)(NO)(2)](2) or the {Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced monomeric DNIC [K(+)-18-crown-6 ether](2)[(NO)(2)Fe(SR)(2)] upon reduction of the {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) DNICs [cation][(NO)(2)Fe(SR)(2)] (cation = PPN(+), K(+)-18-crown-6 ether; R = alkyl). The binding preference of ligands [OPh](-)/[SR](-) toward the {Fe(NO)(2)}(10){Fe(NO)(2)}(10) motif of dianionic reduced RRE follows the ligand-displacement series [SR](-) > [OPh](-). Compared to the Fe K-edge preedge energy falling within the range of 7113.6-7113.8 eV for the dinuclear {Fe(NO)(2)}(9){Fe(NO)(2)}(9) DNICs and 7113.4-7113.8 eV for the mononuclear {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) DNICs, the {Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced monomeric DNICs and the {Fe(NO)(2)}(10){Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced RREs containing S/O/N-ligation modes display the characteristic preedge energy 7113.1-7113.3 eV, which may be adopted to probe the formation of the EPR-silent {Fe(NO)(2)}(10)-{Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced RREs and {Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced monomeric DNICs in biology. In addition to the characteristic Fe/S K-edge preedge energy, the IR ν(NO) spectra may also be adopted to characterize and discriminate [(NO)(2)Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)](2) [IR ν(NO) 1809 vw, 1778 s, 1753 s cm(-1) (KBr)], [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2)(-) [IR ν(NO) 1674 s, 1651 s cm(-1) (KBr)], [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2)(2-) [IR ν(NO) 1637 m, 1613 s, 1578 s, 1567 s cm(-1) (KBr)], and [K-18-crown-6 ether](2)[(NO)(2)Fe(SEt)(2)] [IR ν(NO) 1604 s, 1560 s cm(-1) (KBr)].

The crystal structure [a=5.529 (2) Å,b=10.357 (3) Å,c=6.811 (2) Å, space group Pmn2₁,Z=2] was determined from 1 707 independent X-ray data up to sin /=0.81 Å^–1 and was refined toR _w =0.028. The Pb(1) atom is ten coordinated to O atoms [Pb(1)-O from 2.51 Å to 2.96 Å], the Pb(2) atom has three nearest O atoms [Pb(2)-O=2.41 Å (1 ×) and 2.45 Å (2 ×)] and six next-nearest O atoms [Pb(2)-O from 2.80 Å to 3.22 Å].
