“…[8] More generally, when looking at the mechanistic aspects of the reactions of nitric oxide, either with transition metal (TM) complexes or at surfaces, it is observed that homomolecular reactions involve disproportionation mechanisms covering a variety of pathways and products. [9,10] In the former case (TM complexes), the atom transfer processes observed at Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ru centers can involve 3 to 4 NO molecules, yielding N 2 O + NO 2 or N 2 + 2 NO 2 , respectively. [9] Conversely, in the case of surfaces, atomic products can be easily accommodated, thus opening the way to additional parallel or competing paths.…”
