General Experimental Details
All experiments were carried out in a dry nitrogen atmosphere using an MBraun glovebox and/or
standard Schlenk techniques. 4 Å molecular sieves were activated in vacuo at 180 °C for 24 h. Dry
fluorobenzene, dichloromethane, and pentane were purchased from Acros and were stored over activated
4 Å molecular sieves under nitrogen. All deuterated solvents were sparged with nitrogen, dried over
activated 4 Å molecular sieves and stored under nitrogen. 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra were recorded on
Varian 400 MHz spectrometer. All NMR spectra were recorded at room temperature unless otherwise
noted. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were indirectly referenced to TMS using residual solvent signals as
internal standards; 15N NMR spectra were referenced to external standard Na15NO2 in D2O (609.5 ppm vs.
NH3). Elemental analyses were performed on a Perkin-Elmer PE2400 microanalyzer in our laboratories,
and UV-Vis spectra were recorded on a Cary 50 spectrophotometer equipped with a Unisoku UnispeKs
cryostat. Na15NO2 was obtained from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories. Nitric oxide gas was obtained
from Praxair and purified by passing through a column of Ascarite (8-20 mesh) purchased from Sigma. In
each experiment involving NO gas, a small amount of NO gas was transferred using a 25 L Hamilton
syringe equipped with a 6’’ needle. The needle tip was first dipped into the solution and with stirring, the
injection of NO gas was made slowly with a rate ca. 10 L/min. MesTpTl,a MesTpCu(THF),b iPr2TpCu(MeCN),c iPr2TpCu-SCPh3 (1a),c Ph3CSNOd and Ph3CS15NOe were prepared based on literature
procedures.
Preparation of Compounds
Synthesis and Characterization of MesTpCu-SCPh3 (1b) A suspension of MesTpTl (0.293 g, 0.379 mmol) and CuCl2 (51.0 mg, 0.379 mmol) in 5 mL CH2Cl2 was
stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The white suspension slowly gave way to a dark red solution. The
resulting solution was filtered over Celite, then added to triethylamine (53.0 L, 0.379 mmol) and
Ph3CSH (0.104 g, 0.379 mmol) at -40 ºC. The solution was kept at -40 ºC for overnight after which dark
blue crystals were formed and were isolated to give 0.227 g (66% yield) of product. EPR (Toluene, 80K):
g1 = 2.164, g2 = 2.053, g3 = 2.053, A1(Cu) = 245 MHz, A2(Cu) = A3(Cu) = 20 MHz, Anal. Calcd. for

0.29 mM, 0.28 mM, 0.26 mM to determine value of max and molar absorptivity for 1b (Supplementary
Figure S1). Construction of a Beer’s Law plot (A635nm vs. [1b]) shown in Supplementary Figure S1 gave
max = 635 nm, = 6880 M-1cm-1 for MesTpCu-SCPh3 (1b).

Synthesis and Characterization of MesTpCu(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) MesTpCu(THF)b (63.0 mg, 90.0 mol) was dissolved in 1 mL fluorobenzene. To the stirring solution of MesTpCu(THF), was added dropwise a solution Ph3CSNO (53.0 mg, 0.174 mmol) in 1 mL fluorobenzene
at -40 ºC. The green solution immediately turned dark red. The resulting solution was kept at -40 ºC for
30 min and filtered over Celite. 4 mL cold pentane was layered on top of the solution at -40 ºC. Dark red
crystals formed after standing at -40 °C overnight which were collected and dried under vacuum to give
50.0 mg (59% yield) of product. 1H NMR (dichloromethane-d2, 300 MHz, -35 °C): 7.77 (d, 3, NCH),

In situ UV-Vis spectroscopy of the reaction of MesTpCuI(THF) with Ph3CSNO was conducted at -40 °C to
determine value of max and molar absorptivity for pure 2b (Supplementary Figure S3A). MesTpCuI(THF)
(2.70 mL, 0.556 mM, 1.50 μmol, CH2Cl2) was placed in a quartz cuvette with a rubber septum in an inert
atmosphere at -40 °C. Ten equivalents of Ph3CSNO (0.30 mL, 50.0 mM, 15 μmol, CH2Cl2) was syringed
into the cuvette to bring the final concentration of MesTpCuI(THF) to 0.50 mM. UV-vis spectra were taken
every 30 s. The absorbance at 512 nm corresponding to MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) reached a
maximum after 15 min. Five other solutions of MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) were made in varying
concentrations, 0.43 mM, 0.38 mM, 0.33 mM, 0.30 mM and 0.27 mM by adding CH2Cl2 and diluting the
initial MesTpCuI(THF) solution. Construction of a Beer’s Law plot (A512nm vs. [2b]) shown in
Supplementary Figure S3B gave max = 512 nm with = 4200 M-1cm-1 for MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b).

Synthesis of iPr2TpCuI(CNArMe2) (3a) iPr2TpCuI(NCMe) (0.105 g, 0.184 mmol) was dissolved in 1 mL CH2Cl2
and added to 2,6-dimethylphenyl
isocyanide (26.0 mg, 0.198 mmol) in 1 mL CH2Cl2. The reaction was allowed to stand at room
temperature for 5 min. The resulting solution was layered with 2 mL pentane. Colorless crystals formed
overnight at -40 ºC. The crystals were collected and dried under reduced pressure to give 59.0 mg product
(49% yield). 1H NMR (CD2Cl2, 400 MHz): δ 7.26 (t, 1, p-ArH), 7.18 (d, 2, m-ArH), 5.82 (s, 3, pzH), 3.74

UV-vis and NMR Spectroscopy Studies Details
Reaction of iPr2TpCuII-SCPh3 (1a) with NO iPr2TpCuII-SCPh3 (1a) (3.00 mL, 0.310 mM, 0.930 μmol, CH2Cl2) was placed in a quartz cuvette with a
rubber septum in an inert atmosphere. NO gas (21 L @ 1 atm @ RT, 0.94 μmol) was syringed into the
cuvette at -70 ºC. The peak at 630 nm corresponding to iPr2TpCuII-SCPh3 decreased over time along with
isosbestic formation of new peaks at 445 nm (ca. 3600 M-1cm-1) and 570 nm (ca. 3200 M-1cm-1)1
(Supplementary Figure S4). Additional changes in the UV-vis spectrum were not noticed after 15 min,
indicating that equilibrium was reached.

Supplementary Figure S4. Reaction of 1a (0.31 mM) and 1 equiv. NOgas to give 2a at -70 ºC in CH2Cl2 (3 min / scan). Reaction of iPr2TpCuI(NCMe) with Ph3CSNO iPr2TpCuI(NCMe) (2.70 mL, 0.333 mM in CH2Cl2, 0.900 μmol) was placed in a quartz cuvette with a
rubber septum in an inert atmosphere at -70 ºC in CH2Cl2. Ph3CSNO (0.30 mL, 3.00 mM in CH2Cl2, 0.90
μmol) was syringed into the cuvette to bring the solution to a final volume of 3.0 mL, 0.30 mM in each
component. The absorbances at 445 nm and 570 nm which correspond to iPr2TpCuI(ONSCPh3) (2a) reach
their maxima after 15 min (A570 = 0.569, ca. 59% spectroscopy yield) (Supplementary Figure S5A).
Warming the resulting solution of 2a to -60 ºC results in decrease of 445 and 570 nm peaks over time
along with partial formation of 1a (max = 625 nm, ≈ 6600 M-1cm-1) in ca. 14% yield (A625 = 0.276) with
respect to iPr2TpCuI(NCMe) initial concentration (Supplementary Figure S5B). Attempts to further follow
this decomposition reaction were unsuccessful, likely due to the known thermal instability of iPr2TpCu-SCPh3 which is subject to Ph3C• radical loss to form {iPr2TpCu}2(-2:2-S2).f

Quantification of MesTpCuI(CNAr2,6-Me) (3b) from Reaction of MesTpCu(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) and CNArMe2 MesTpCuI(THF) (17.0 mg, 24.2 mol) and the internal standard ferrocene (6.0 mg, 32 mol) were mixed
together in 1 mL of CD2Cl2. An initial 1H NMR spectrum was taken to determine the actual ratio of MesTpCuI(THF):Cp2Fe. This solution was added to Ph3CSNO (8.0 mg, 26 mol) solid at -40 ºC. The
mixture was allowed to stand at -40 ºC for 5 minutes upon which the color changed from green to dark
red. The solution was added into 2, 6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (4.0 mg, 31 mol). The color of the
solution immediately changed from dark red to yellowish green. A 1H NMR spectrum was taken of the
solution indicating the quantitative formation of MesTpCuI(CNArMe2) (3b) and Ph3CSNO.
Interconversion of MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) and MesTpCuII-SCPh3 (1b) Loss of NO MesTpCu(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) was prepared in situ from the reaction of MesTpCuI(THF) and
Ph3CSNO (A512nm = 0.363, 70% spectroscopic yield) by placing MesTpCuI(THF) (2.70 mL, 0.139 mM,
0.375 μmol) in a quartz cuvette with a rubber septum in an inert atmosphere at 0 °C followed by addition
of Ph3CSNO (0.30 mL, 1.25 mM in CH2Cl2, 0.38 μmol) by syringe to bring the solution to a final volume
of 3 mL, 0.125 mM for both MesTpCuI(THF) and Ph3CSNO. After mixing, the reaction solution was
purged with a stream of N2. UV-vis spectra were taken every 60 s. The absorbances at 422 nm and 512
nm which correspond to 2b decrease over time and a new peak at 635 nm that corresponds to 1b grows in
(A635nm = 0.802, 93% spectroscopic yield) (Supplementary Figure S10). Additional changes in the UV-vis
spectrum were not noticed after 60 min.

Capture of NO The same reaction mixture described above was cooled to -80 °C and 1.1 equiv NOgas (9.0
L @ 1atm @ RT, 0.40 μmol) was syringed into the cuvette. UV-vis spectra were taken every 60 s for 12
min. The absorbance at = 635 nm which corresponds to MesTpCuII-SCPh3 decreased over time and
absorbances at 422 nm and 512 nm that correspond to MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) grow in during the scans
(A512nm = 0.367, 70% yield) (Supplementary Figure S11).

Van’t Hoff Plot of Binding of Ph3CSNO to MesTpCuI(THF) MesTpCuI(THF) (2.70 mL, 0.560 mM in CH2Cl2, 1.50 μmol) was placed in a quartz cuvette with a rubber
septa in an inert atmosphere at -50 °C. Ph3CSNO (0.30 mL, 5.00 mM, 1.5 μmol, CH2Cl2) by syringe to
bring the solution to a final volume of 3.00 mL corresponding to concentrations of 0.50 mM for both MesTpCuI(THF) and Ph3CSNO. UV-vis spectra were taken every 30 s. The absorbance at 512 nm
corresponding to 2b reached a maximum after 1 h. The reaction was cooled down to -60 °C and
maintained at this until equilibrium was established (ca. 1 h). The same reaction mixture was cooled
down to -70 °C and -80 °C with UV-vis spectra taken at each temperature after equilibrium was
established (ca. 2 h). At lower temperatures, more 2b was observed (Supplementary Figure S12A).
Construction of a van’t Hoff plot (ln(Keq) vs. 1/T) shown in Supplementary Figure S12B gave Hr =
-0.82(2) kcal/mol; Sr = -2.7(1) e.u for the reaction shown in Supplementary Scheme S1. Addition of
excess THF did not alter the position of equilibrium, suggesting that instead MesTpCu exists as a solvent
bound species MesTpCu(solvent) at these concentrations.

Reaction between MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) and O2 A solution of MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) was generated by addition of a solution of MesTpCuI(THF) to
a solution of Ph3CSNO as follows: Ph3CSNO (2.50 mL, 5.00 mM, 12.5 μmol, CH2Cl2) was placed in a
quartz cuvette with a rubber septum in an inert atmosphere at -40 °C. MesTpCuI(THF) (0.50 mL, 5.00 mM
in CH2Cl2, 2.50 μmol) by syringe to bring the solution to a final volume of 3.00 mL corresponding to
concentrations of 0.83 mM for MesTpCuI(THF) and 4.17 mM for Ph3CSNO. UV-vis spectra were taken
every 6 mins. The absorbance at 512 nm which corresponds to 2b reached a maximum after 4 hours. The
reaction was then exposed to 1 atm O2 at -40 °C by addition of an O2 balloon to the cuvette. The
absorbance at = 512 nm which corresponds to MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) MesTpCuII-SCPh3
decreased and the absorbance at 635 nm corresponding to MesTpCuII-SCPh3 grew in slowly over 2 h
(Supplementary Figure S13). No decomposition of MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) was observed in the
absence of O2 at -40 °C in CH2Cl2 for at least 3 h.

X-Band EPR Details
EPR measurements were performed in quartz tubes. Spectral simulation was performed using the
program QCMP 136 by Prof. Dr. Frank Neese from the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange as used
by Neese et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 8692-8699. The fittings were performed by the “chi by
eye” approach. EPR spectra of 1a was recorded on a Bruker EMX EPR X-band spectrometer with
small-volume power saturation and dual mode cavities. EPR spectra of 1b were recorded on a JEOL
continuous wave spectrometer JES-FA200 equipped with an X-band Gunn oscillator bridge, a cylindrical
mode cavity, and a liquid nitrogen cryostat. For all samples, a modulation frequency of 100 kHz and a
time constant of 0.03 s were employed.

Formation of MesTpCuI(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b) from MesTpCuII-SCPh3 (1b) and NO by EPR MesTpCuII-SCPh3 (1b) (0.500 mL, 5.00 mM CH2Cl2, 2.50 μmol) was placed in a quartz EPR tube in an
inert atmosphere at -80 °C. ½ equiv. NO gas (30 L @ 1atm @ RT, 1.3 μmol) was syringed into the EPR
tube. After mixing, the reaction solution was frozen in liquid nitrogen and an EPR spectrum was taken at
80 K. An EPR spectrum of the reaction of 1b with 1 equiv NO (60 L @ 1atm @ RT, 2.7 μmol) was
obtained with a similar procedure. The EPR signal corresponding to 1b decreases with increasing amount
of NO, indicating formation of diamagnetic compound 2b.

Single crystals of each compound MesTpCu-SCPh3 (1b) (CCDC 1401110), MesTpCu(1-N(O)SCPh3) (2b)
(CCDC 1401111) and iPr2TpCuI(CNAr2,6-Me2) (3a) (CCDC 1401112) were mounted under mineral oil on
glass fibers and immediately placed in a cold nitrogen stream at 100(2) K on a Bruker SMART CCD
system. Either full spheres (triclinic) or hemispheres (monoclinic or higher) of data were collected (0.3
or 0.5-scans; 2θ max = 56 ; monochromatic Mo Ka radiation, λ = 0.7107 Å) depending on the crystal
system and integrated with the Bruker SAINT program. Structure solutions were performed using the
SHELXTL/PC suitei and XSEED.j Intensities were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects and an
empirical absorption correction was applied using Blessing’s method as incorporated into the program
SADABS.k, l Non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters and hydrogen atoms
were included in idealized positions. Structures for 1b, 2b and 3a were rendered with POV-Ray in
XSEED using 50% probability ellipsoids. A CheckCIF B-level alert present in the X-ray structure of 2b
results from a short C-C distance in one of two fluorobenzene solvent molecules in the unit cell. Since
this B-level alert corresponded to a solvent molecule, no additional restraints were added to the model.

Computational Details
Computational Methodology All calculations were performed with Gaussian 09 (Reference 44 from manuscript)m in the gas phase.
Geometry optimizations were carried out both at the (U)B3LYP/6-311G(d) and (U)B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d)
levels. A comparison of these geometries with the experimental crystal structures are given in a later
section of the supplementary material. The stationary points were characterized using harmonic
vibrational frequencies.
The molecular electronic energies E were computed using dispersion corrected DFT given by equation:
E = EDFT + Edisp
where EDFT is the (all-electron) KS-DFT SCF energy for B3LYP and Edisp is the standard atom pair-wise
London dispersion energy from D3 theory.n The corrections from energy to enthalpy and free energy also
including zero-point vibrational energies, calculated using the harmonic oscillator approximation at
298.15 K, were added to the molecular electronic energies.
All syn- and anti- configurations were considered in the calculations.
All orbital contour plots were rendered by the program “Lumo” by Matthew T. Kieber-Emmons.o

Examination of binding modes for Ph3CSNO at MesTpCuI We explored a range of potential binding modes of the S-nitrosothiol Ph3CSNO to the MesTpCuI fragment
(Tables S2 and S3; Fig. S28).q The lowest energy configuration is the 1-N-syn complex in which the
S-nitrosothiol is bound to the Cu center via the N atom with the RSNO in a syn conformation. The
B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d) optimized geometry closely matches the experimental structure (theory (exp):
Cu-N(O)SR 1.86 (1.893(4)), N-S 1.79 (1.755(4)), N-O 1.21 (1.206(5)), Cu…S 3.09 (3.044(4)) Å; Figs. 6A
and S25). While the 1-N-anti isomer is much higher in energy (G = +15.4 kcal/mol) due to steric
contact between the RSNO Ph3C and TpCu Mes groups, we identified three other energetically
competitive MesTpCu(RSNO) binding modes. For instance, the S-bound 1-S-syn and 1-S-anti
conformations are 7.5 and 8.7 kcal/mol higher in free energy. Anticipated in previous DFT studies
considering S-bound RSNOs to simple Lewis acids,r,s these 1-S binding modes feature activated S-NO
bond distances of 1.96 and 1.99 Å, respectively, compared to free Ph3CSNO (exp: S-NO = 1.792(5) Å
(anti)). The NO/SR binding mode is only 5.5 kcal/mol higher in free energy and conceptually
represents capture of NO at Cu (Cu-NO = 2.13 Å) with a significant interaction between the bound NO
and thiolate ligands (S…NO = 2.15 Å) leading to a lengthened Cu-SR bond (2.30 Å). Lastly, a binding
mode featuring a side-on 2-NO moiety is 12.8 kcal/mol higher in free energy, reminiscent of the binding
of C-nitroso compounds in low-coordinate -diketiminato complexes [Cu](2-ONPh).t.u

RS…NO interactions in the MesTpCu(NO)(SR) NO/SR isomer The close RS…NO separation of 2.15 Å observed in the DFT structure of the MesTpCu(NO)(SCPh3)
NO/SR isomer suggests that there is an interaction between the bound thiolate and NO ligands. This
may be conceptually viewed as a dative -interaction between a filled S-lone pair with the empty NO *
orbitals. While this -bonding interaction may be identified in frontier, filled MOs of MesTpCu(NO)(SCPh3) (HOMO and HOMO-4), the * component of this interaction is clearly seen in the
LUMO+1.
