Abstract

Exposure of anhydrous sodium nitroprusside to ⁶⁰Co γ-rays at 77 K resulted in e.s.r. spectra of two species. One had g_∥= 2·0142 and g_⊥= 2·0716 at 77 K, with no resolved coupling to ¹⁴N. By comparison with data for other d⁵ pentacyanonitrosyls, it is concluded that this species is the pentacyanonitrosylferrate(III). The other species had g and ¹⁴N hyperfine tensors characteristic of librating nitric oxide.
