Nitrosonium cation in chemical and biochemical reactions: achievements and prospects

Data on the reactivity of nitrosonium cation in chemical reactions are systematized and integrated. The review demonstrates the structural diversity of nitrosonium complexes resulting from the specific features of the electronic structure of NO+. The use of nitrosonium salts in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds and for the preparation of modern materials, including nanomaterials, is considered. The participation of NO+ in oxidative, catalytic and biochemical processes is discussed. The bibliography includes 332 references.
