A NO‐velty: A copper(I) β‐diketiminate activates the nitrosamine Ph 2 NNO to give a rare, three‐coordinate copper(II) amide, [(Me 2 NN)CuNPh 2 ]. Reaction of this amide with NO gas returns Ph 2 NNO as well as a mixed‐valence species with NO‐functionalized β‐diketiminate ligands (see scheme; Cu light blue, N dark blue, O red). Thus, both the cleavage and formation of R 2 NNO bonds may take place at a common copper center.
