Nitric oxide reactivity of cu ii and co ii complexes with n donor ligands

Abstract

This thesis originates from our interest to study the redox reaction of NO assisted with transition metal complexes Initial aim of the thesis was to synthesize stable metal 8220 nitrosyl complexes and to study the redox reactivity of the coordinated nitrosyl Since most of the roles played by NO in biological systems are attributed to the formation of nitrosyl complexes of the metallo proteins this work would have been helpful to understand the basic chemistry involved in biological reactions To
