摘要:
An overview of the observed and likely photochemistry of transition metal nitrito compounds is presented with particular attention to the potential of using such nitrite ion complexes as the photochemical source for nitric oxide delivery to biological targets. In this context, recent studies at Santa Barbara regarding the photoreactions of the chromium(III) complex trans-Cr(cyclam)(ONO)(2)(+) (cyclam = 1,4,8,11 tetraazacyclo-tetradecane) to give NO plus Cr(IV) (and subsequently Cr(V) complexes in the presence of dioxygen) are described.
