The Kinetic Study on the Reactivity of HNO (Azanone) Towards Nitrite Ions, Hydroxylamine, Selected Nitrosocompounds and Selected Phosphines

Nitroxyl (HNO, IUPAC name azanone), being formally the protonated product of one-electron reduction of nitric oxide (NO), is an elusive reactive nitrogen species possessing interesting biological chemistry and high pharmacological importance.1,2 Contrary to nitric oxide, HNO is a strong electrophile highly reactive towards nucleophiles.
