Abstract
The nitric oxide electroreduction reaction (NORR) has received considerable attention due to its importance in electrochemical denitrification of nitrogen oxides in groundwater and industrial waste gases and electrochemical ammonia synthesis. However, the detailed mechanism and the factors that affect product selectivity are far less understood. Employing coupled differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) and attenuated total reflection-surface-enhanced infrared absorption (ATR-SEIRA) spectroscopy, adsorbed species and volatile solution products, during the adsorption of NO and NORR on Pt in both alkaline and acidic media, have been simultaneously studied, enabling us to correlate the potential-dependent product selectivity with the surface ad-species. NOad,M, NOad,B, NOad,L, and NO2,ad were identified using SEIRA spectroscopy as surface ad-species, with their potential-dependent intensities having a strong correlation with the product selectivity. N2O is the only reduction product at potentials beyond the hydrogen region and is attributed to the reduction of weakly adsorbed NO. In contrast, the formation of NH3 and NH2OH occurs only in the hydrogen region and is ascribed to the reaction between strongly adsorbed NO and adsorbed H. N2 is a minor product, and is formed through further reduction of N2O by adsorbed H. The formation of N2 is significantly suppressed in acidic media due to the fast kinetics of NO reduction to NH3/NH2OH, and thus lowering of NO coverage in the hydrogen region. To achieve the selective reduction of NO to NH3/NH2OH, the potential should remain at 0.1-0.2 V (vs RHE) in both acidic and alkaline media while a slow NO supply, and acidic media are preferred over alkaline media due to the faster kinetics. These new spectroscopic results and insights about the NORR could advance the design of more effective NORR catalysts and help develop optimal conditions for selective ammonia synthesis.

Abstract
The combustion of nitrogen-containing fuels and increasing use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers is accumulating NOx pollutants in the environment. Copper is an attractive catalyst material for reductive NOx remediation, yet ambiguity persists regarding the elementary bond-making and bond-breaking steps occurring at the catalyst interface. Starting from a molecular tricuprous μ3-oxo complex (1), an unusually reduced and highly reactive surface-like cluster (2) has been prepared. Characterization data and electronic structure calculations are consistent with 2 featuring σ-aromaticity that primes the tricopper core for two-electron chemistry. Cluster 2 mediates catalytic reductive coupling of NO to N2, proceeding through N2O, via sequential oxygen atom transfer steps. Stoichiometric reduction of NO3 - and NO2 - is also disclosed, mapping the complete denitrification cycle at an atomically-precise molecular cluster.

Abstract
The intermolecular N-N coupling of NO in a dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) induced by hydrogen bond donors in the secondary coordination sphere to form N2O is reported. A family of complexes containing pendant anilines in the secondary coordination sphere were synthesized and characterized. Reduction of the {Fe(NO)2}9 complex [Fe(PhNHPDI)(NO)2][BPh4] (3) to the {Fe(NO)2}10 Fe(PhNHPDI)(NO)2 (4) results in intermolecular N-N coupling to form N2O. Similar reactions of the control {Fe(NO)2}9 complex [Fe(PhNMePDI)(NO)2][BPh4] (7), which does not have H-bonding groups in the secondary coordination sphere, do not result in N2O formation. The hydrogen bonding capabilities of the complexes were explored spectroscopically and computationally.

Abstract
DFT calculations were performed to explore the mechanism underlying the reduction of NO to N2O by a CuI complex. A nitrosyl complex reacts with another NO molecule and the CuI complex, leading to the formation of a dicopper-hyponitrite complex (Cu2N2O2). The first steps follow a common pathway until the formation of the intermediate [CuII-N2O2]+, after which the reaction pathway diverges into three Cu2N2O2 species: κ2-N,N', κ2-O,O', and κ3-N,O,O'. These species yield different products along their respective reaction pathways. In the case of the κ2-N,N' and κ3-N,O,O' species, the subsequent steps involve a methanol-mediated proton transfer and N-O bond cleavage, resulting in the generation of N2O and [CuII-OH]+. Conversely, for the κ2-O,O' species, two proton transfers occur without N-O bond cleavage, leading to the formation of H2N2O2 and [CuII]2+. H2N2O2 spontaneously converts into N2O and H2O. These computational results elucidate how the coordination mode of hyponitrite influences reactivity and provide insights into NO reduction via proton transfer. Notably, switching of the N2O2 coordination mode to metal ions from N to O was not required, offering insights for more efficient NO reduction strategies in the future.

Abstract
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox)-the biological process that activates ammonium with nitrite-is responsible for a significant fraction of N2 production in marine environments. Despite decades of biochemical research, however, no synthetic models capable of anammox have been identified. Here we report that a copper sulfide mineral replicates the entire biological anammox pathway catalysed by three metalloenzymes. We identified a copper-nitrosonium {CuNO}10 complex, formed by nitrite reduction, as the oxidant for ammonium oxidation that leads to heterolytic N-N bond formation from nitrite and ammonium. Similar to the biological process, N2 production was mediated by the highly reactive intermediate hydrazine, one of the most potent reductants in nature. We also found another pathway involving N-N bond heterocoupling for the formation of hybrid N2O, a potent greenhouse gas with a unique isotope composition. Our study represents a rare example of non-enzymatic anammox reaction that interconnects six redox states in the abiotic nitrogen cycle.

Abstract
Copper nitrite reductase mimetics were synthesized using three new tridentate ligands sharing the same N,N,N motif of coordination. The ligands were based on L-proline modifications, attaching a pyridine and a triazole to the pyrrolidine ring, and differ by a pendant group (R = phenyl, n-butyl and n-propan-1-ol). All complexes coordinate nitrite, as evidenced by cyclic voltammetry, UV-Vis, FTIR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. The coordination mode of nitrite was assigned by FTIR and EPR as κ2O chelate mode. Upon acidification, EPR experiments indicated a shift from chelate to monodentate κO mode, and 15N NMR experiments of a Zn2+ analogue, suggested that the related Cu(II) nitrous acid complex may be reasonably stable in solution, but in equilibrium with free HONO under non catalytic conditions. Reduction of nitrite to NO was performed both chemically and electrocatalytically, observing the highest catalytic activities for the complex with n-propan-1-ol as pendant group. These results support the hypothesis that a hydrogen bond moiety in the secondary coordination sphere may aid the protonation step.

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
Treatment of a dicopper(I,I) complex with excess amounts of NO leads to the formation of a dicopper dinitrosyl [Cu2(NO)2]2+ complex capable of (i) releasing two equivalents of NO reversibly in 90% yield and (ii) reacting with another equivalent of NO to afford N2O and dicopper nitrosyl oxo species [Cu2(NO)(O)]2+. Resonance Raman characterization of the [Cu2(NO)2]2+ complex shows a 15N-sensitive N═O stretch at 1527.6 cm-1 and two Cu-N stretches at 390.6 and 414.1 cm-1, supporting a symmetric diamond-core structure with bis-μ-NO ligands. The conversion of [Cu2(NO)2]2+ to [Cu2(NO)O]2+ occurs via a rate-limiting reaction with NO and bypasses the dicopper oxo intermediate, a mechanism distinct from that of diFe-mediated NO reduction to N2O.

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
The nitrogen oxides NO2, NO, and N2O are among the most potent air pollutants of the 21st century. A bimetallic RhI–PtII complex containing an especially designed multidentate phosphine olefin ligand is capable of catalytically detoxifying these nitrogen oxides in the presence of hydrogen to form water and dinitrogen as benign products. The catalytic reactions were performed at room temperature and low pressures (3–4 bar for combined nitrogen oxides and hydrogen gases). A turnover number (TON) of 587 for the reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) to water and N2 was recorded, making these RhI–PtII complexes the best homogeneous catalysts for this reaction to date. Lower TONs were achieved in the conversion of nitric oxide (NO, TON=38) or nitrogen dioxide (NO2, TON of 8). These unprecedented homogeneously catalyzed hydrogenation reactions of NOx were investigated by a combination of multinuclear NMR techniques and DFT calculations, which provide insight into a possible reaction mechanism. The hydrogenation of NO2 proceeds stepwise, to first give NO and H2O, followed by the generation of N2O and H2O, which is then further converted to N2 and H2O. The nitrogen−nitrogen bond‐forming step takes place in the conversion from NO to N2O and involves reductive dimerization of NO at a rhodium center to give a hyponitrite (N2O22−) complex, which was detected as an intermediate.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule in biological systems, and as such, the ability of porous materials to reversibly adsorb NO is of interest for potential medical applications. Although certain metal-organic frameworks are known to bind NO reversibly at coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, the influence of the metal coordination environment on NO adsorption has not been studied in detail. Here, we examine NO adsorption in the frameworks Co2Cl2(bbta) (H2bbta = 1H,5H-benzo(1,2-d:4,5-d')bistriazole) and Co2(OH)2(bbta) using gas adsorption, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and magnetometry. At room temperature, NO adsorbs reversibly in Co2Cl2(bbta) without electron transfer, with low temperature data supporting spin-crossover of the NO-bound cobalt(ii) centers of the material. In contrast, adsorption of low pressures of NO in Co2(OH)2(bbta) is accompanied by charge transfer from the cobalt(ii) centers to form a cobalt(iii)-NO- adduct, as supported by diffraction and infrared spectroscopy data. At higher pressures of NO, characterization data indicate additional uptake of the gas and disproportionation of the bound NO to form a cobalt(iii)-nitro (NO2 -) species and N2O gas, a transformation that appears to be facilitated by secondary sphere hydrogen bonding interactions between the bound NO2 - and framework hydroxo groups. These results provide a rare example of reductive NO binding in a cobalt-based metal-organic framework, and they demonstrate that NO uptake can be tuned by changing the primary and secondary coordination environment of the framework metal centers.

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 syntheses of (DIM)Ni(NO3)2 and (DIM)Ni(NO2)2, where DIM is a 1,4-diazadiene bidentate donor, are reported to enable testing of bis boryl reduced N-heterocycles for their ability to carry out stepwise deoxygenation of coordinated nitrate and nitrite, forming O(Bpin)2. Single deoxygenation of (DIM)Ni(NO2)2 yields the tetrahedral complex (DIM)Ni(NO)(ONO), with a linear nitrosyl and κ1-ONO. Further deoxygenation of (DIM)Ni(NO)(ONO) results in the formation of dimeric [(DIM)Ni(NO)]2, where the dimer is linked through a Ni–Ni bond. The lost reduced nitrogen byproduct is shown to be N2O, indicating N–N bond formation in the course of the reaction. Isotopic labelling studies establish that the N–N bond of N2O is formed in a bimetallic Ni2 intermediate and that the two nitrogen atoms of (DIM)Ni(NO)(ONO) become symmetry equivalent prior to N–N bond formation. The [(DIM)Ni(NO)]2 dimer is susceptible to oxidation by AgX (X = NO3−, NO2−, and OTf−) as well as nitric oxide, the latter of which undergoes nitric oxide disproportionation to yield N2O and (DIM)Ni(NO)(ONO). We show that the first step in the deoxygenation of (DIM)Ni(NO)(ONO) to liberate N2O is outer sphere electron transfer, providing insight into the organic reductants employed for deoxygenation. Lastly, we show that at elevated temperatures, deoxygenation is accompanied by loss of DIM to form either pyrazine or bipyridine bridged polymers, with retention of a BpinO− bridging ligand. Deoxygenation of nitrogen oxyanions coordinated to nickel using reduced borylated heterocycles leads to N–N bond formation and N2O liberation. The nickel dimer product facilitates NO disproportionation, leading to a synthetic cycle.![]()

Abstract
Dianionic hyponitrite (N2 O2 2- ) is often proposed, based on model complexes, as the key intermediate in reductive coupling of nitric oxide to nitrous oxide at the bimetallic active sites of heme-copper oxidases and nitric oxide reductases. In this work, we examine the gas-solid reaction of nitric oxide with the metal-organic framework CuI -ZrTpmC* with a suite of in situ spectroscopies and density functional theory simulations, and identify an unusual chelating N2 O2 .- intermediate. These results highlight the advantage provided by site-isolation in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for studying important reaction intermediates, and provide a mechanistic scenario compatible with the proposed one-electron couple in these enzymes.
