Nitrosyl Substituted Hydride Complexes–An Activated Class of Compounds

Abstract
The activation of metal hydrogen bonds toward alkyne insertion and carbonyl reduction in NO substituted transition metal hydride complexes is discussed. MO theoretical treatment elucidates a genuine nitrosyl effect and enhanced hydricity for this class of compounds. This is traced in NMR based M-H bond ionicity measurements and reactivity studies.
