For the isomeric species fac-[RuNO(bpym)Cl3] (1), fac-[RuNO(phen)Cl3] (2), mer-[RuNO(phen)Cl3] (3), fac-[RuNO(bpy)Cl3] (4), and mer-[RuNO(bpy)Cl3] (5), an evaluation of the photoresponse in DMSO was performed under excitation with 450 nm using a continuous-flow arrangement that enabled the simultaneous acquisition of IR and UV-Vis spectral data. Quantum yields for photoinduced release of NO were determined as follows: 5.4 \u00b1 0.5% for fac-[RuNO(bpym)Cl3] (1); 0.8 \u00b1 0.1% for fac-[RuNO(phen)Cl3] (2); 0.6 \u00b1 0.1% for mer-[RuNO(phen)Cl3] (3); 3.7 \u00b1 0.1% for fac-[RuNO(bpy)Cl3] (4); 2.1 \u00b1 0.1% for mer-[RuNO(bpy)Cl3] (5). The product of the photolysis of compound 5 in acetonitrile solution was isolated and structurally characterized as mer-[Ru(CH3CN)(bpy)Cl3] (6). Taking into account the presence of typical DNA intercalating ligands, the complexes can be potentially exploited as photoNORMs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27146172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,10]],"date-time":"2026-07-10T11:43:34Z","timestamp":1783683814000},"page":"6172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ruthenium Nitrosyl Complexes with Bidentate Heterocycles and Chloride Ligands: Synthesis and Photorelease of NO"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Anastasia O.","family":"Brovko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nikolaev Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 3 Acad.
