Two trinuclear Cu II pyrazolato complexes with a Cu 3 (μ 3 -E)-core (E = O 2- or OH - ) and terminal nitrite ligands in two coordination modes were characterized crystallographically, spectroscopically, and electrochemically. One-electron oxidation of the μ 3 -O species produces a delocalized, mixed-valent, formally Cu II 2 Cu III -nitrite, but no nitrate. In contrast, under reducing conditions-addition of PhSH as an electron and proton donor-both complexes mediate the reduction of nitrite, releasing NO.
