The synthesis and characterization of a {CuNO}(10) complex, namely, [Cu(CH(3)NO(2))(5)(NO)][PF(6)](2), has been achieved by the addition of [NO][PF(6)] to copper metal powder in the presence of nitromethane. In the solid state, this complex exhibits a bent Cu-N-O moiety [Cu-N-O = 121.0(3)°] and a long Cu-N bond. This complex readily reacts with mesitylene to form [mesitylene, NO][PF(6)] and [Cu(η(2)-1,3,5-Me(3)C(6)H(3))(2)][PF(6)] by transfer of NO(+) to the mesitylene ring.
