Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin (GTN), isosorbide-5-mononitrate and isosorbide
dinitrate, and pentaerithrityl tetranitrate (PETN), when given acutely, have potent vasodilator …

Conspectus Our long-time niche in synthetic biological inorganic chemistry has been to
design ligands and generate coordination complexes of copper or iron ions or both, those …

Mononuclear copper complexes relevant to the active site of copper nitrite reductases
(CuNiRs) are known to be catalytically active for the reduction of nitrite. Yet, their catalytic …

The terms biomimetic and bioinspired are very relevant in the field of bioinorganic chemistry
and have been widely applied. Although they were defined by the International Organization …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule in health and disease. While nitrite acts as a
reservoir of NO activity, mechanisms for NO release require further understanding. A series …

Copper nitrite reductase mimetics were synthesized using three new tridentate ligands
sharing the same N, N, N motif of coordination. The ligands were based on L-proline …

The syntheses of (DIM) Ni (NO3) 2 and (DIM) Ni (NO2) 2, where DIM is a 1, 4-diazadiene
bidentate donor, are reported to enable testing of bis boryl reduced N-heterocycles for their …

Reaction of an Fe (II) complex,[Fe (6-COO–-tpa)] 1+(1), with PhE–and NO2–produced [Fe (6-
COO–-tpa)(EPh)](E= S, 2a; Se, 3) and [Fe (6-COO–-tpa)(κ2-O, O′-NO2)](4), respectively (6 …

While nitric oxide (NO, nitrogen monoxide) is a critically important signaling agent, its
cellular concentrations must be tightly controlled, generally through its oxidative conversion …

The reaction chemistry of the bis‐tetrazinyl pyridine ligand (btzp) towards nitrogen
oxyanions coordinated to zinc is studied in order to explore the reduction of the NOx …
