Can somebody help me balancing this equation? (positive for nitrates)
[Fe(H2O)6]2(SO4)3 + NO => [Fe(H2O)5(NO)](SO4) + H2O

It doesn´t works with Fe3+

It works with Fe2+

[Fe(H2O)6]SO4 + NO => [Fe(H2O)5(NO)]SO4 + H2O

The NO is obtained by the redoxreaction between Fe2+ and NO3-.

3 Fe2+ + NO3- + 4 H+ => 3 Fe3+ + NO + 2H2O
