a

FeNO oxidation states are given in the Enemark-Feltham notation. The numbers preceding the * indicate the number of equivalent iron sites.

b

Experimental values (see Table 1 for references).

c

Temperature-corrected isomer shift (to 4.2 K) based on second-order Doppler shift.

d

Prediction based on the universal fit.

e

Experimental isomer shifts from Fe(NO)(dtcEt2)2.

f

Experimental values were assigned so that smaller isomer shift was assigned to higher nuclear density.

g

RT = room temperature, assumed to be 298 K.
