[2-Amino-4,6-bis-(2-pyrid-yl)-1,3,5-tri-azine-κN,N,N]dichloridocadmium(II)

Ruthenium nitrosyl complexes with the molecular framework [RuII(dmdptz)(bpy)(NO)]n+ (dmdptz: N,N-dimethyl-4,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine and bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine). Electronic structure, reactivity aspects, photorelease, and scavenging of NO

Two ruthenium nitrosyl complexes have been stabilized both in {Ru–NO}⁶ and {Ru–NO}⁷ configurations which show facile photocleavage of Ru–NO bond on exposure to visible light. The photo liberated NO is captured by reduced myoglobin.
