Non-heme high-spin (hs) {FeNO}<sup>8</sup> complexes have been proposed as important intermediates towards N<sub>2</sub> O formation in flavodiiron NO reductases (FNORs). Many hs-{FeNO}<sup>8</sup> complexes disproportionate by forming dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs), but the mechanism of this reaction is not understood. While investigating this process, we isolated a new type of non-heme iron nitrosyl complex that is stabilized by an unexpected spin-state change. Upon reduction of the hs-{FeN ...[more]
