Nox x 1 2 reactivity of co ii and ni ii complexes with n donor and o donor ligands

Abstract

The thesis originates from our interest to understand the basic chemistry involved in the binding to and activation of NOx x 1 and 2 by transition metal ions Amongst the first row transition metal ions iron and copper have been studied well towards NO binding and activation However nickel and cobalt have not been studied to that extent though both of these are known to exhibit interesting activity towards NO In this context as continuation of our study first chapter deals with the ge
