Nitrogen oxide (NOx) compounds participate in a wide range of biological processes. Of specific interest to our group is the metal-catalyzed reduction of nitrite anion (NO2?) to produce NO as well as the construction of metal-bound nitroxyl (NO? or HNO) coordination complexes. This talk will describe our efforts in understanding the fundamental bioinorganic chemistry of NOx reduction mediated by non-heme Fe and Co systems. The synthesis, spectroscopy and reactive properties of iron- and cobalt-NOx systems utilizing pyrrole/imidazole/imine N-ligands will be presented.
