Some previously synthesized nitrosoarene complexes of known coordination mode have been studied by XPS spectroscopy.New nitrosoarene complexes of Rh^III, Ir^III, Cu^I and Hg^II have been synthesized and studied by both X-ray photoelectron and IR spectroscopy.A correlation was found between the value ΔE_B(O-N) and the bonding mode of the nitroso ligand.
