Metal centre effects on HNO binding in porphyrins and the electronic origin: metal's electronic configuration, position in the periodic table, and oxidation state

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Apr 21;48(32):3842-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc31016c. Epub 2012 Mar 9.

Abstract

HNO binds to many different metals in organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry. To help understand experimentally observed metal centre effects, a quantum chemical investigation was performed, revealing clear general binding trends with respect to metal centre characteristics and the electronic origin for the first time.
