Reaction ability of nitrosyl group in transition metal complexes

Transformations of the intraspheric nitrosyl group in complexes of transition metals are reviewed. All the reactions involving these groups are divided into two types: reactions associated with the electrophilic properties of the nitrosyl group; reactions associated with the nucleophilic properties of the nitrosyl group. Attempts to correlate the reactivity of the nitrosyl group with its structure and spectral characteristics are considered
