A synthetic NO reduction cycle on a bis(pyrazolato)-bridged dinuclear ruthenium complex including photo-induced transformation†
Abstract
A synthetic NO reduction cycle (2NO + 2H+ + 2e− → N2O + H2O) on a dinuclear platform {(TpRu)2(μ-pz)2} (Tp = HB(pyrazol-1-yl)3) was achieved, where an unusual N–N coupling complex was included. Moreover, an interesting photo-induced conversion of the N–N coupling complex to an oxido-bridged complex was revealed.
