Abstract
The reaction of [K(18-crown-6)][O2N2CPh3] with [MeLCo(μ-Br)2Li(OEt2)] (MeL = {(2,6-iPr2C6H3)NC(Me)}2CH) generates the trityl diazeniumdiolate complex, [MeLCo(O2N2CPh3)] (1), in moderate yield. Similar metathesis reactions result in the formation of the Fe and Cu analogues, [MeLM(O2N2CPh3)] (Fe, 2; Cu, 3), which can also be isolated in moderate yields. Complexes 1-3 were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, and their solid-state structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. These complexes were further characterized via 1H NMR spectroscopy (in the case of 1 and 2) or EPR spectroscopy (in the case of 3). Irradiation of complexes 1 and 2 with 371 nm light generates the known dinitrosyl complexes, [MeLM(NO)2] (M = Co, 4; Fe, 5), along with Ph3CH and 9-phenylfluorene. We propose that 4 and 5 are formed via the putative hyponitrite intermediates, [MeLM(κ2-O,O-ONNO)], which are formed by photoinduced homolysis of the C-N bond of the [O2N2CPh3] ligand. In contrast, irradiation of complex 3 with 371 nm light, in the presence of 1 equiv of PPh3, led to the formation of the Cu(I) complexes, [MeLCu(PPh3)], [(ArNCMeC(NO)CMeNAr)Cu(PPh3)] (6), and [(ArNCMeC(NO)CMeNAr)Cu]2 (7), of which the latter two are products of γ-nitrosation of the β-diketiminiate ligand. Also formed in this transformation are Ph3CN(H)OCPh3, Ph3PO, and N2O, along with trace amounts of NO.

Abstract
Transition-metal-mediated reductive coupling of nitric oxide (NO(g)) to nitrous oxide (N2O(g)) has significance across the fields of industrial chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and environmental health. Herein, we elucidate a density functional theory (DFT)-supplemented mechanism of NO(g) reductive coupling at a copper-ion center, [(tmpa)CuI(MeCN)]+ (1) {tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine}. At -110 °C in EtOH (<-90 °C in MeOH), exposing 1 to NO(g) leads to a new binuclear hyponitrite intermediate [{(tmpa)CuII}2(μ-N2O22-)]2+ (2), exhibiting temperature-dependent irreversible isomerization to the previously characterized κ2-O,O'-trans-[(tmpa)2Cu2II(μ-N2O22-)]2+ (OOXray) complex. Complementary stopped-flow kinetic analysis of the reaction in MeOH reveals an initial mononitrosyl species [(tmpa)Cu(NO)]+ (1-(NO)) that binds a second NO molecule, forming a dinitrosyl species [(tmpa)CuII(NO)2] (1-(NO)2). The decay of 1-(NO)2 requires an available starting complex 1 to form a dicopper-dinitrosyl species hypothesized to be [{(tmpa)Cu}2(μ-NO)2]2+ (D) bearing a diamond-core motif, en route to the formation of hyponitrite intermediate 2. In contrast, exposing 1 to NO(g) in 2-MeTHF/THF (v/v 4:1) at <-80 °C leads to the newly observed transient metastable dinitrosyl species [(tmpa)CuII(NO)2] (1-(NO)2) prior to its disproportionation-mediated transformation to the nitrite product [(tmpa)CuII(NO2)]+. Our study furnishes a near-complete profile of NO(g) activation at a reduced Cu site with tripodal tetradentate ligation in two distinctly different solvents, aided by detailed spectroscopic characterization of metastable intermediates, including resonance Raman characterization of the new dinitrosyl and hyponitrite species detected.

Abstract
Addition of NO to a nonheme dithiolate-ligated iron(II) complex, FeII(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1), results in the generation of N2O. Low-temperature spectroscopic studies reveal a metastable six-coordinate {FeNO}7 intermediate (S = 3/2) that was trapped at -135 °C and was characterized by low-temperature UV-vis, resonance Raman, EPR, Mössbauer, XAS, and DFT studies. Thermal decay of the {FeNO}7 species leads to the evolution of N2O, providing a rare example of a mononuclear thiolate-ligated {FeNO}7 that mediates NO reduction to N2O without the requirement of any exogenous electron or proton sources.

Abstract
Copper nitrite reductases (CuNIRs) convert NO2- to NO as well as NO to N2O under high NO flux at a mononuclear type 2 Cu center. While model complexes illustrate N-N coupling from NO that results in symmetric trans-hyponitrite [CuII]-ONNO-[CuII] complexes, we report NO assembly at a single Cu site in the presence of an external reductant Cp*2M (M = Co, Fe) to give the first copper cis-hyponitrites [Cp*2M]{[CuII](κ2-O2N2)[CuI]}. Importantly, the κ1-N-bound [CuI] fragment may be easily removed by the addition of mild Lewis bases such as CNAr or pyridine to form the spectroscopically similar anion {[CuII](κ2-O2N2)}-. The addition of electrophiles such as H+ to these anionic copper(II) cis-hyponitrites leads to N2O generation with the formation of the dicopper(II)-bis-μ-hydroxide [CuII]2(μ-OH)2. One-electron oxidation of the {[CuII](κ2-O2N2)}- core turns on H-atom transfer reactivity, enabling the oxidation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene to anthracene with concomitant formation of N2O and [CuII]2(μ-OH)2. These studies illustrate both the reductive coupling of NO at a single copper center and a way to harness the strong oxidizing power of nitric oxide via the neutral cis-hyponitrite [Cu](κ2-O2N2).

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially with iron, is at the heart of many biological transformations involving NO. A series of heme proteins, nitric oxide synthases (NOS), soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), and nitrophorins, are responsible for the biosynthesis, sensing, and transport of NO. Alternatively, NO can be generated from nitrite by heme- and copper-containing nitrite reductases (NIRs). The NO-bearing small molecules such as nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) can serve as an alternative vehicle for NO storage and transport. Once NO is formed, the rich reaction chemistry of NO leads to a wide variety of biological activities including reduction of NO by heme or non-heme iron-containing NO reductases and protein post-translational modifications by DNICs. Much of our understanding of the reactivity of metal sites in biology with NO and the mechanisms of these transformations has come from the elucidation of the geometric and electronic structures and chemical reactivity of synthetic model systems, in synergy with biochemical and biophysical studies on the relevant proteins themselves. This review focuses on recent advancements from studies on proteins and model complexes that not only have improved our understanding of the biological roles of NO but also have provided foundations for biomedical research and for bio-inspired catalyst design in energy science.

Abstract
A new nonheme iron(II) complex, FeII (Me3 TACN)((OSiPh2 )2 O) (1), is reported. Reaction of 1 with NO(g) gives a stable mononitrosyl complex Fe(NO)(Me3 TACN)((OSiPh2 )2 O) (2), which was characterized by Mössbauer (δ=0.52 mm s-1 , |ΔEQ |=0.80 mm s-1 ), EPR (S=3/2), resonance Raman (RR) and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopies. The data show that 2 is an {FeNO}7 complex with an S=3/2 spin ground state. The RR spectrum (λexc =458 nm) of 2 combined with isotopic labeling (15 N, 18 O) reveals ν(N-O)=1680 cm-1 , which is highly activated, and is a nearly identical match to that seen for the reactive mononitrosyl intermediate in the nonheme iron enzyme FDPnor (ν(NO)=1681 cm-1 ). Complex 2 reacts rapidly with H2 O in THF to produce the N-N coupled product N2 O, providing the first example of a mononuclear nonheme iron complex that is capable of converting NO to N2 O in the absence of an exogenous reductant.

Abstract
The rate and mechanism of the elimination of N2O from trans-R3Sn-O-N═N-O-SnR3 (R = Ph (1Ph) and R = Cy (1Cy)) to form R3Sn-O-SnR3 (R = Ph (2Ph) and R = Cy (2Cy)) have been studied using both NMR and IR techniques to monitor the reactions in the temperature range of 39-79 °C in C6D6. Activation parameters for this reaction are ΔH⧧ = 15.8 ± 2.0 kcal·mol-1 and ΔS⧧ = -28.5 ± 5 cal·mol-1·K-1 for 1Ph and ΔH⧧ = 22.7 ± 2.5 kcal·mol-1 and ΔS⧧ = -12.4 ± 6 cal·mol-1·K-1 for 1Cy. Addition of O2, CO2, N2O, or PPh3 to sealed tube NMR experiments did not alter in a detectable way the rate or product distribution of the reactions. Computational DFT studies of elimination of hyponitrite from trans-Me3Sn-O-N═N-O-SnMe3 (1Me) yield a mechanism involving initial migration of the R3Sn group from O to N passing through a marginally stable intermediate product and subsequent N2O elimination. Reactions of 1Ph with protic acids HX are rapid and lead to formation of R3SnX and trans-H2N2O2. Reaction of 1Ph with the metal radical •Cr(CO)3C5Me5 at low concentrations results in rapid evolution of N2O. At higher •Cr(CO)3C5Me5 concentrations, evolution of CO2 rather than N2O is observed. Addition of 1 atm or less CO2 to benzene or toluene solutions of 2Ph and 2Cy resulted in very rapid reaction to form the corresponding carbonates R3Sn-O-C(═O)-O-SnR3 (R = Ph (3Ph) and R = Cy (3Cy)) at room temperature. Evacuation results in fast loss of bound CO2 and regeneration of 2Ph and 2Cy. Variable temperature data for formation of 3Cy yield ΔHo = -8.7 ± 0.6 kcal·mol-1, ΔSo = -17.1 ± 2.0 cal·mol-1·K-1, and ΔGo298K = -3.6 ± 1.2 kcal·mol-1. DFT studies were performed and provide additional insight into the energetics and mechanisms for the reactions.

Abstract
Heme-copper oxidases (HCO), nitric oxide reductases (NOR), and sulfite reductases (SiR) catalyze the multi-electron and multi-proton reductions of O2, NO, and SO32-, respectively. Each of these reactions is important to drive cellular energy production through respiratory metabolism and HCO, NOR, and SiR evolved to contain heteronuclear active sites containing heme/copper, heme/nonheme iron, and heme-[4Fe-4S] centers, respectively. The complexity of the structures and reactions of these native enzymes, along with their large sizes and/or membrane associations, make it challenging to fully understand the crucial structural features responsible for the catalytic properties of these active sites. In this review, we summarize progress that has been made to better understand these heteronuclear metalloenzymes at the molecular level though study of the native enzymes along with insights gained from biomimetic models comprising either small molecules or proteins. Further understanding the reaction selectivity of these enzymes is discussed through comparisons of their similar heteronuclear active sites, and we offer outlook for further investigations.

Abstract
The metallobiochemistry underlying the formation of the inorganic N-N-bond-containing molecules nitrous oxide (N2O), dinitrogen (N2), and hydrazine (N2H4) is essential to the lifestyles of diverse organisms. Similar reactions hold promise as means to use N-based fuels as alternative carbon-free energy sources. This review discusses research efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying biological N-N bond formation in primary metabolism and how the associated reactions are tied to energy transduction and organismal survival. These efforts comprise studies of both natural and engineered metalloenzymes as well as synthetic model complexes.

Abstract
A cuprous chelate bearing a secondary sphere hydrogen bonding functionality, [(PV-tmpa)CuI]+, transforms •NO(g) to N2O(g) in high-yields in methanol. Ligand derived proton transfer facilitates N-O bond cleavage of a putative hyponitrite intermediate releasing N2O(g), underscoring the crucial balance between H-bonding capabilities and acidities in (bio)chemical •NO(g) coupling systems.

Abstract
Fungal denitrification plays a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle and contributes to the total N2O emission from agricultural soils. Here, cytochrome P450 NO reductase (P450nor) reduces two NO to N2O using a single heme site. Despite much research, the exact nature of the critical "Intermediate I" responsible for the key N-N coupling step in P450nor is unknown. This species likely corresponds to a Fe-NHOH-type intermediate with an unknown electronic structure. Here we report a new strategy to generate a model system for this intermediate, starting from the iron(III) methylhydroxylamide complex [Fe(3,5-Me-BAFP)(NHOMe)] (1), which was fully characterized by 1H NMR, UV-vis, electron paramagnetic resonance, and vibrational spectroscopy (rRaman and NRVS). Our data show that 1 is a high-spin ferric complex with an N-bound hydroxylamide ligand that is strongly coordinated (Fe-N distance, 1.918 Å; Fe-NHOMe stretch, 558 cm-1). Simple one-electron oxidation of 1 at -80 °C then cleanly generates the first model system for Intermediate I, [Fe(3,5-Me-BAFP)(NHOMe)]+ (1+). UV-vis, resonance Raman, and Mössbauer spectroscopies, in comparison to the chloro analogue [Fe(3,5-Me-BAFP)(Cl)]+, demonstrate that 1+ is best described as an FeIII-(NHOMe)• complex with a bound NHOMe radical. Further reactivity studies show that 1+ is highly reactive toward NO, a reaction that likely proceeds via N-N bond formation, following a radical-radical-type coupling mechanism. Our results therefore provide experimental evidence, for the first time, that an FeIII-(NHOMe)• electronic structure is indeed a reasonable electronic description for Intermediate I and that this electronic structure is advantageous for P450nor catalysis because it can greatly facilitate N-N bond formation and, ultimately, N2O generation.

Abstract
The hyponitrite anion is a tentative intermediate in the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2 O) catalyzed by nitric-oxide reductase (NOR) in the process of bacterial denitrification. Owing to the considerable number of known coordination modes for the hyponitrito ligand, its actual bonding form in the enzymatic cycle is a point of current discussion. Here, we contribute to the hardly known ligand properties of a key intermediate, the monoprotonated hyponitrite anion. Three air- and water-stable ruthenium complexes with hydrogenhyponitrite as the ligand were synthesized by using commercially available bisphosphane co-ligands (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene (dppv)). The starting compounds [Ru(dppe)2 (tos)]BF4 (1) and [Ru(dppp)2 (tos)]BF4 (2) contained the bidentate coordinating tosylate anion (tos) as a particularly well-suited leaving group. To confirm the protonated and deprotonated species, X-ray diffraction, IR, UV/Vis spectroscopy (solution and solid state), solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectroscopy were used. DFT calculations give insight into the bonding situation. We report on [Ru(dppe)2 (HN2 O2 )]BF4 (5), [Ru(dppp)2 (HN2 O2 )]BF4 (6), [Ru(dppv)2 (HN2 O2 )]BF4 (7), [Ru(dppp)2 (HN2 O2 )]BF4 ⋅Imi (9; Imi=imidazole) as the first mononuclear trans-hydrogenhyponitrite complexes. Isolated deprotonated analogs are [Ru(dppe)2 (N2 O2 )]⋅HImi(BF4 ) (8) and [Ru(dppv)2 (N2 O2 )] ⋅HImi(BF4 )⋅Imi (10).

Abstract
A copper complex, [CuI(tmpa)(MeCN)]+, effectively reductively couples NO(g) at RT in methanol (MeOH), giving a structurally characterized hyponitrito-dicopper(II) adduct. Hydrogen-bonding from MeOH is critical for the hyponitrite complex formation and stabilization. This complex exhibits the reverse redox process in aprotic solvents, giving CuI + NO(g), leading to CuI-mediated NO(g)-disproportionation. The relationship of this chemistry to biological iron and/or copper mediated NO(g) reductive coupling to give N2O(g) is discussed.

Abstract
The solid state photolysis of sodium, silver and thallium hyponitrite (M2N2O2, M=Na, Ag, Tl) salts and a binuclear complex of cobalt bridged by hyponitrite ([Co(NH3)5-N(O)-NO-Co(NH3)5]4+) were studied by irradiation with visible and UV light in the electronic absorption region. The UV-visible spectra for free hyponitrite ion and binuclear complex of cobalt were interpreted in terms of Density Functional Theory calculations in order to explain photolysis behavior. The photolysis of each compound depends selectively on the irradiation wavelength. Irradiation with 340-460nm light and with the 488nm laser line generates photolysis only in silver and thallium hyponitrite salts, while 253.7nm light photolyzed all the studied compounds. Infrared spectroscopy was used to follow the photolysis process and to identify the generated products. Remarkably, gaseous N2O was detected after photolysis in the infrared spectra of sodium, silver, and thallium hyponitrite KBr pellets. The spectra for [Co(NH3)5-N(O)-NO-Co(NH3)5]4+ suggest that one cobalt ion remains bonded to N2O from which the generation of a [(NH3)5CoNNO]+3 complex is inferred. Density Functional Theory (DFT) based calculations confirm the stability of this last complex and provide the theoretical data which are used in the interpretation of the electronic spectra of the hyponitrite ion and the cobalt binuclear complex and thus in the elucidation of their photolysis behavior. Carbonate ion is also detected after photolysis in all studied compounds, presumably due to the reaction of atmospheric CO2 with the microcrystal surface reaction products. Kinetic measurements for the photolysis of the binuclear complex suggest a first order law for the intensity decay of the hyponitrite IR bands and for the intensity increase in the N2O generation. Predicted and experimental data are in very good agreement.

Abstract
The mechanism of the copper(I)-mediated reductive disproportionation reaction of NO to form N2O was investigated for five different 3,5-substituted tris(pyrazolyl)borate copper complexes (CuTpR1,R2) by means of DFT calculations. A thorough search of the potential surface was performed, using the B3LYP functional with the def2-SVP basis set for optimization purposes and def2-TZVP single-point calculations for constructing the potential energy surface for two of these complexes. The results can be condensed into six competing reaction mechanisms, two of which were more closely investigated using full def2-TZVP optimized potential and free energies. The results consistently predict the same mechanism to have the lowest overall barrier. For all five different complexes, this is found to be in good agreement with the experimental reaction barriers. The key intermediate for the transition from the N-bound reactant to the O-bound product contains a stable (NO)3 unit with one N-Cu and one O-Cu bond, which was not included in the mechanistic considerations reported in the literature. Further analysis of the charge distribution and the spin density demonstrates the formation of a Cu(II)-(N2O2-) intermediate and the electronic influence of the different ligands.

Abstract
Bacteria utilize a heme/non-heme enzyme system to detoxify nitric oxide (NO) to N2O. In order to probe the capacity of a single-heme system to mediate this NO-to-N2O transformation, various scenarios for addition of electrons, protons, and a second NO molecule to a heme nitrosyl to generate N2O were explored by density functional theory calculations. We describe, utilizing this single-heme system, several stepwise intermediates along pathways that enable the critical N-N bond formation step yielding the desired Fe-N2O product. We also report a hitherto unreported directional second protonation that results in either productive N2O formation with loss of water, or formation of a non-productive hyponitrous acid adduct Fe{HONNOH}.

Abstract
The reduction of nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O) is a process relevant to biological chemistry as well as to the abatement of certain environmental pollutants. One of the proposed key intermediates in NO reduction is hyponitrite (N2O2(2-)), the product of reductive coupling of two NO molecules. We report the reductive coupling of NO by an yttrium-tricopper complex generating a trans-hyponitrite moiety supported by two μ-O-bimetallic (Y,Cu) cores, a previously unreported coordination mode. Reaction of the hyponitrite species with Brønsted acids leads to the generation of N2O, demonstrating the viability of the hyponitrite complex as an intermediate in NO reduction to N2O. The additional reducing equivalents stored in each tricopper unit are employed in a subsequent step for N2O reduction to N2, for an overall (partial) conversion of NO to N2. The combination of Lewis acid and multiple redox active metals facilitates this four electron conversion via an isolable hyponitrite intermediate.

Abstract
Heme-hyponitrites are intermediates that form at the bimetallic active sites of bacterial nitric oxide reductases. To probe a possible effect of the Fe-Fe distance on hyponitrite stability, we prepared a bridged bis-porphyrin Fe-hyponitrite compound, namely [(OEP-CH2)Fe]2(μ2,η(1),η(1)-ONNO). Its υNO of 992 cm(-1) (υ15NO of 976 cm(-1)) is close to the υNO of 983 cm(-1) reported previously by us for the crystallographically characterized [(OEP)Fe]2(μ2,η(1),η(1)-ONNO) compound. The bridged bis-porphyrin Fe-hyponitrite complex is unstable with respect to N2O production, supporting the role of the bis-Fe porphyrin system in hyponitrite conversion to N2O. The preparation and crystallographic determination of the bridging sulfato derivative is also reported.

Abstract
![]()
This Forum Article focuses on recent
advances in structural and spectroscopic studies of biosynthetic models
of nitric oxide reductases (NORs). NORs are complex metalloenzymes
found in the denitrification pathway of Earth’s nitrogen cycle
where they catalyze the proton-dependent two-electron reduction of
nitric oxide (NO) to nitrous oxide (N2O). While much progress
has been made in biochemical and biophysical studies of native NORs
and their variants, a clear mechanistic understanding of this important
metalloenzyme related to its function is still elusive. We report
herein UV–vis and nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy
(NRVS) studies of mononitrosylated intermediates of the NOR reaction
of a biosynthetic model. The ability to selectively substitute metals
at either heme or nonheme metal sites allows the introduction of independent 57Fe probe atoms at either site, as well as allowing the preparation
of analogues of stable reaction intermediates by replacing either
metal with a redox inactive metal. Together with previous structural
and spectroscopic results, we summarize insights gained from studying
these biosynthetic models toward understanding structural features
responsible for the NOR activity and its mechanism. The outlook on
NOR modeling is also discussed, with an emphasis on the design of
models capable of catalytic turnovers designed based on close mimics
of the secondary coordination sphere of native NORs. New insights into nitric oxide reductases (NORs) are obtained. Using
nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy, we probe both iron atoms
in mononitrosylated intermediates of the NOR reaction in a biosynthetic
protein model that reveal new insights into the structural and electronic
features responsible for the NOR activity and its likely mechanism.

Abstract
The question of why mammalian systems use nitric oxide (NO), a potentially hazardous and toxic diatomic, as a signaling molecule to mediate important functions such as vasodilation (blood pressure control) and nerve signal transduction initially perplexed researchers when this discovery was made in the 1980s. Through extensive research over the past two decades, it is now well rationalized why NO is used in vivo for these signaling functions, and that heme proteins play a dominant role in NO signaling in mammals. Key insight into the properties of heme-nitrosyl complexes that make heme proteins so well poised to take full advantage of the unique properties of NO has come from in-depth structural, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies on ferrous and ferric heme-nitrosyls. This Account highlights recent findings that have led to greater understanding of the electronic structures of heme-nitrosyls, and the contributions that model complex studies have made to elucidate Fe-NO bonding are highlighted. These results are then discussed in the context of the biological functions of heme-nitrosyls, in particular in soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC; NO signaling), nitrophorins (NO transport), and NO-producing enzymes. Central to this Account is the thermodynamic σ-trans effect of NO, and how this relates to the activation of the universal mammalian NO sensor sGC, which uses a ferrous heme as the high affinity "NO detection unit". It is shown via detailed spectroscopic and computational studies that the strong and very covalent Fe(II)-NO σ-bond is at the heart of the strong thermodynamic σ-trans effect of NO, which greatly weakens the proximal Fe-NHis (or Fe-SCys) bond in six-coordinate ferrous heme-nitrosyls. In sGC, this causes the dissociation of the proximally bound histidine ligand upon NO binding to the ferrous heme, inducing a significant conformational change that activates the sGC catalytic domain for the production of cGMP. This, in turn, leads to vasodilation and nerve signal transduction. Studies on ferrous heme-nitrosyl model complexes have allowed for a quantification of this thermodynamic σ-trans effect of NO, through the use of high-resolution crystal structures, binding constant studies, single-crystal vibrational spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These studies have further identified the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) of the NO complexes as the key MO that mediates the thermodynamic σ-trans effect of NO. In comparison to ferrous heme-nitrosyls, ferric heme-nitrosyls display thermodynamically much weaker Fe-NO bonds (from NO binding constants), but at the same time much stronger Fe-NO bonds in their ground states (from vibrational spectroscopy). Using spectroscopic investigations coupled to DFT calculations, this apparent contradiction has been rationalized with the involvement of at least three different electronic states in the binding/dissociation of NO to/from ferric hemes. This is of key significance for the release of NO from NO-producing enzymes like NOS, and further forms the basis for ferric hemes to serve as NO transporters in biological systems.
