Abstract

[reaction: see text] The mechanism of NO transfer from NO-donors (SNAP and G-MNBS) to ferrous tetraphenylporphyrin (TPPFe(II)) in CH(3)OH is discovered for the first time by using a laser flash technique. The results show that the NO transfer is completed by NO(+) transfer followed by electron transfer rather than direct NO transfer in one step.
