Tilt/asymmetry in nitrosyl metalloporphyrin complexes : The cobalt case
The high-resolution crystal structure for [Co(OEP)(NO)] shows that the axial Co-N(NO) vector is tilted from the normal to the porphyrin plane. The off-axis tilt is correlated with an asymmetry in the equatorial Co-N-p bond distances.
