Peroxynitrite Chemistry Derived from Nitric Oxide Reaction with a Cu(II)-OOH Species and a new Copper Mediated NO Reductive Coupling Reaction

摘要

New peroxynitrite-copper chemistry ensues via addition of nitric oxide (•NO(g)) to a Cu^II-hydroperoxo species. In characterizing the system, the ligand-Cu(I) complex was shown to effect •NO(g) reductive coupling, a new reaction type. Biological implications are discussed.
