Peroxynitrite generation from a NO-releasing nitrobenzene derivative in response to photoirradiation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jun 14;47(22):6449-51. doi: 10.1039/c1cc11681a. Epub 2011 May 6.

Abstract

Photocontrollable ONOO(-) generation from a nitrobenzene derivative was demonstrated. The designed compound released NO in response to photoirradiation, and the resulting semiquinone reduced molecular oxygen to generate O(2)˙(-); reaction of the two generated ONOO(-), as confirmed with an ONOO(-) fluorescent probe, HKGreen-3.
