Reaction of [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(CH3COS)](BF4)2 (1) with (NO)(BF4) produces a nonheme mononitrosyl diiron(II) complex, [Fe2(N-Et-HPTB)(NO)(DMF)3](BF4)3 (2). Complex 2 is the first example of a [FeII{Fe(NO)}7] species and is also the first example of a mononitrosyl diiron(II) complex that mediates the reduction of NO to N2O. This work describes the selective synthesis, detailed characterization and NO reduction activity of 2 and thus provides new insights regarding the mechanism of flavodiiron nitric oxide reductases.
