RuIII(edta)-mediated interaction of nitrite and sulphide: formation of an N-bonded thionitrous acid (HSNO) complex of RuIII(edta) in aqueous solution

Abstract

The nitrite anion (NO2) is an important source of nitric oxide (NO) or nitrosonium cations (NO+). In the present study, we have shown that [RuIII(edta)(NO+)] (edta4− = ethylendiaminetetraacetate) generated via decomposition of [RuIII(edta)(NO2)]2− at lower pH (3.5) could react with H2S to form a putative thionitrous acid (HSNO) bound Ru(edta) complex in aqueous solution. The reaction product [RuIII(edta)(NOSH)] was characterized by IR, EPR and ESI-MS spectroscopy. Formation of N-coordinated [RuIII(edta)(NOSH)] was further corroborated by DFT calculations.
