A cuprous chelate bearing a secondary sphere hydrogen bonding functionality, [(PV-tmpa)Cu<sup>I</sup>]<sup>+</sup>, transforms <sup>•</sup>NO<sub>(g)</sub> to N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>(g)</sub> in high-yields in methanol. Ligand derived proton transfer facilitates N-O bond cleavage of a putative hyponitrite intermediate releasing N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>(g)</sub>, underscoring the crucial balance between H-bonding capabilities and acidities in (bio)chemical <sup>•</sup>NO<sub>(g)</sub> coupling systems. ...[more]
