A copper complex, [Cu<sup>I</sup>(tmpa)(MeCN)]<sup>+</sup>, effectively reductively couples NO<sub>(g)</sub> at RT in methanol (MeOH), giving a structurally characterized hyponitrito-dicopper(II) adduct. Hydrogen-bonding from MeOH is critical for the hyponitrite complex formation and stabilization. This complex exhibits the reverse redox process in aprotic solvents, giving Cu<sup>I</sup> + NO<sub>(g)</sub>, leading to Cu<sup>I</sup>-mediated NO<sub>(g)</sub>-disproportionation. The relationship ...[more]
