In order to understand iron nitrosyl intermediates in biological systems, several iron nitrosyl complexes are obtained and studied at this work. They are [PPh4][Fe(PS3”)(NO)] (1), [Fe(PS3”)(NO)] (2) and [Fe(PSS-S”)2(NO)] (3) (PS3”: tris(benzenethiolato)phosphine). Complexes 1 and 3 are {FeNO}7 species. Complex 2 is a {FeNO}6 species. Complexes 1 and 2 both have five-coordinated iron centers with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, but complex 3 embraces a five-coordinated iron center, and the geometry of complex 3 is more likely trigonal bipyramid geometry. All three complexes have been characterized by UV-vis-NIR and NMR spectroscopies. The electrochemical properties have been studied by cyclic voltammogram and magnetic nature is investigated by SQUID and EPR measurements. In addition, reactions of [PPh4][Fe(PS3”)(CH3CN)] (4) and [PPh4][Fe(PS3”)(OCH3)] (5), reported previously in our laboratory, with nitrite are also investigated. The ESI-MS and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopies are used to follow the reaction profiles. Adding 4~5 equivalents of nitrite to [PPh4][Fe(PS3”)(CH3CN)] (4) results in the formation of [PPh4][Fe(PS3”)(NO)] (1). The reaction intermediates are observed in ESI-MS spectra. The reaction pathways are elucidated accordingly.
