The nitric oxide liberation from trans ‐[Ru(NH 3 ) 4 (L)(NO)] 3+ (where L = py, 4‐pic, isn, nic, L ‐His, 4‐Clpy, imN) after one‐electron‐chemical or electrochemical reduction was investigated through spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques, reaction‐product analysis and quantum‐mechanic calculations. These complexes can be formally viewed as a Ru II (NO + ) species and the reduction site is located on the NO ligand. The E ° for the trans ‐[Ru II (NH 3 ) 4 (L)(NO + )] 3+ / trans ‐[Ru II (NH 3 ) 4 (L)(NO)] 2+ redox process ranges from 0.072 V vs. NHE (nic) to −0.118 V vs. NHE (imN). The specific rate constants for NO dissociation from trans ‐[Ru II (NH 3 ) 4 (L)(NO)] 2+ , evaluated through double‐step chronoamperometry, range from 0.025 s −1 (nic) to 0.160 s −1 (ImN) at 25 °C. The [Ru II NO + /Ru II NO 0 ] redox potential and the specific rate constant ( k ‐NO ),key steps for designing nitrosyl complexes as NO‐donor drug prototypes, proved to be controlled by a judicious choice of the ligand (L) trans to NO.
