Copper-containing nitrite reductase (CuNIR), which is a key enzyme in biological denitrification, catalyzes the<br />

reduction of nitrite to nitrogen monoxide. In this paper, we investigated that and the photochemical reduction of<br />

nitrite to nitrogen monoxide by Ru(bpy)3 or Zn prophirin complex modified CuNIRs and the CuNIR model<br />

complexes [Cu(Me2bpa)] 2+ linked to Ru(bpy)3 analogue or Zn porphirin in the presence of sacrificial electron<br />

donor reagents under acidic condition at room temperature. Transient absorption spectra of Ru-Cu complex were<br />

observed by nanosecond laser flash photolysis (λex = 532 nm, fwhm 4 ns) at 298 K. The spectral change at 503<br />

nm due to Ru(III) moiety was observed, it is due to the intramolecular electron transfer from the excited Ru(II)<br />

to Cu(II) moieties in Ru-Cu complex. The same profiles were observed in the Zn prophirin linked Cu complex<br />

and the Ru complex modified CuNIR. Photo chemical NO production from the dinuclear complexes or the<br />

complex modified CuNIR solutions including nitrite and sacrificial electron donor reagent was observed under<br />

irradiation of visible light and the continuous flow of Ar at room temperature. This is the first example of the<br />

photochemical reduction of nitrite to nitrogen monoxide catalyzed by dinuclear complex and complex modified<br />

enzyme.<br />
