Inorganic Nitrates

Inorganic and Organic Nitrates as Sources of Nitric Oxide

A comparison of organic and inorganic nitrates/nitrites.

Although both organic and inorganic nitrates/nitrites mediate their principal effects via nitric oxide, there are many important differences. Inorganic nitrate and nitrite have simple ionic structures and are produced endogenously and are present in the diet, whereas their organic counterparts are far more complex, and, with the exception of ethyl nitrite, are all medicinally synthesised produc...

Scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate catalyzed aromatic nitration with inorganic nitrates and acetic anhydride.

The rare earth metal(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (rare earth metal(III) triflate, RE(OTf)3) was found to be an efficient catalyst for aromatic nitration with carboxylic anhydride-inorganic nitrate as the nitrating agent. In the presence of a catalytic amount of RE(OTf)3, the nitration of substituted benzenes proceeded to afford the corresponding nitrobenzenes. Especially, scandium(III) trifl...

Marine Light Alkyl Nitrates

In the usual photoionization process, the absorption and emission of photons between the light field and the photoexcited electron packet is an arbitrary process that broadens the energy distribution of the electrons. However, there is no net exchange of energy between the two, and the drift velocity of the electron packet is unchanged. Kienberger et al. (p. 1144; see the Perspective by Lewenst...
