We have analyzed structure, stability, and Ru-NO bonding of the -[RuCl(NO)(NH)] complex by using relativistic density functional theory. First, we focus on the bond dissociation energies associated with the three canonical dissociation modes leading to [RuCl(NH)]+NO, [RuCl(NH)]+NO, and [RuCl(NH)]+NO. The main objective is to understand the Ru-NO bonding mechanism in the conceptual framework of Kohn-Sham molecular orbital theory in combination with a quantitative energy decomposition analysis. In our analyses, we have addressed the importance of the synergism between Ru-NO σ-donation and π-backdonation as well as the so-called negative influence of the Cl ligand on the Ru-NO bond. For completeness, the Ru-NO bonding mechanism is compared with that of the corresponding Ru-CO bond.

A fundamental challenge for phototriggered therapies is to obtain robust molecular frameworks that can withstand biological media. Photoactivatable nitric oxide (NO) releasing molecules (photoNORMs) based on ruthenium nitrosyl (RuNO) complexes are among the most studied systems due to several appealing features that make them attractive for therapeutic applications. Nevertheless, the propensity of the NO ligand to be attacked by nucleophiles frequently manifests as significant instability in water for this class of photoNORMs.

In this study, we introduced the electron-donating group (-OH) to the aromatic rings of Ru(salophen)(NO)Cl (0) (salophenH =N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(salicylideneimine)) to investigate the influence of the substitution on NO photolysis and NO-releasing dynamics. Three derivative complexes, Ru((o-OH) -salophen)(NO)Cl (1), Ru((m-OH) -salophen)(NO)Cl (2), and Ru((p-OH) -salophen)(NO)Cl (3) were developed and their NO photolysis was monitored by using UV/Vis, EPR, NMR, and IR spectroscopies under white room light. Spectroscopic results indicated that the complexes were diamagnetic Ru(II)-NO species which were converted to low-spin Ru(III) species (d , S=1/2) and released NO radicals by photons.

Polypyridyl backbone nitrosyl complexes of ruthenium with the molecular framework [RuII(antpy)(bpy)NO+/˙]n+ [4](PF6)3 (n = 3), [4](PF6)2 (n = 2), where antpy = 4'-(anthracene-9-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, were synthesized via a stepwise synthetic route from the chloro precursor [RuII(antpy)(bpy)(Cl)](PF6) [1](PF6) and [RuII(antpy)(bpy)(CH3CN)](PF6)2 [2](PF6)2 and [RuII(antpy)(bpy)(NO2)](PF6) [3](PF6). After column chromatographic purification, all the synthesized complexes were fully characterized using different spectroscopic and analytical techniques including mass spectroscopy, 1H NMR, FT-IR and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The Ru-NO stretching frequency of [4](PF6)3 was observed at 1941 cm-1, which suggests moderately strong Ru-NO bonding.

Complexation reactions of ruthenium-nitrosyl complexes in HNO solution were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations in order to predict the stability of Ru species in high-level radioactive liquid waste (HLLW) solution. The equilibrium structure of [Ru(NO)(NO)(HO)] obtained by DFT calculations reproduced the experimental Ru-ligand bond lengths and IR frequencies reported previously. Comparison of the Gibbs energies among the geometrical isomers for [Ru(NO)(NO) (HO) ] revealed that the complexation reactions of the ruthenium-nitrosyl complexes with NO proceed the NO coordination to the equatorial plane toward the Ru-NO axis.

We applied density functional theory calculations to ruthenium-nitrosyl complexes, which are known to exist in high-level radioactive waste generating during reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, to give a theoretical correlation between Ru Mössbauer spectroscopic parameters and ligand field strength for the first time. The structures of the series of complexes, [Ru(NO)L] (L = Br, Cl, NH, CN), were modeled based on the corresponding single-crystal X-ray coordinates. The comparisons of the geometries and total energies between the different spin states suggested that the singlet spin state of [Ru(II)(NO)L] complexes were the most stable.
