Mechanistic Pathways for NO Elimination from -RSn-O-N═N-O-SnR and for Reversible Binding of CO to RSn-O-SnR (R = Ph, Cy).

The rate and mechanism of the elimination of NO from -RSn-O-N═N-O-SnR (R = Ph () and R = Cy ()) to form RSn-O-SnR (R = Ph () and R = Cy ()) have been studied using both NMR and IR techniques to monitor the reactions in the temperature range of 39-79 °C in CD. Activation parameters for this reaction are Δ = 15.8 ± 2.

Production of -NaNO and NaNO by Ball Milling NaO and NO in Alkali Metal Halide Salts.

Ball milling of sodium oxides and alkali metal halide salts under a pressure of 2 atm nitrous oxide at temperatures of 38 ± 4 °C is reported. After 2.5 h of ball milling, FTIR data for both NO and NO additions show conclusively that -NaNO is formed based on excellent agreement with data reported earlier by Jansen and Feldmann who prepared pure crystalline -NaNO by reaction of sodium oxide and nitrous oxide for 2 h at 360 °C in a tube furnace.
