Spin-Forbidden Deprotonation of Aqueous Nitroxyl (HNO)

Abstract: The first mechanistic study of a spin-forbidden proton-transfer reaction in aqueous solution is reported. Laser flash photolysis of alkaline trioxodinitrate (N(2)O(3)(2)(-), Angeli's anion) is used to generate a nitroxyl anion in its excited singlet state ((1)NO(-)). Through rapid partitioning between protonation by water and electronic relaxation, (1)NO(-) produces (1)HNO (ground state, yield 96%) and (3)NO(-) (ground state, yield 4%), which comprise a unique conjugate acid-base couple with different ground-s… Show more

“…At lower pH, the monobasic NONOate will also be in equilibrium with its protonated form. This equilibrium is expressed in the pK a , based on the most stable protonated and non-protonated isomers (K a13 = [4][H + ]/ [13]). Decomposition of the protonated NONOate is also based on the equilibrium population of a metastable tautomer (K 20 = [20]/ [13]).…”

“…This equilibrium is expressed in the pK a , based on the most stable protonated and non-protonated isomers (K a13 = [4][H + ]/ [13]). Decomposition of the protonated NONOate is also based on the equilibrium population of a metastable tautomer (K 20 = [20]/ [13]). Compiling these pathways and other, non-productive equilibria in both the protonated and non-protonated forms, an overall kinetic model for decomposition is summarized in Figure 12 …”

“…This is indeed the case, although the spin conversion might play only a minor role in the intersystem barrier as it is proposed that nuclear reorganization energies represent most of the activation barrier. [59] It is now established that deprotonation of HNO (or protonation of 3 …”

“…It should be realized, however, that if 3 NO À can be biologically generated, the slow protonation reaction allows 3 NO À to have a significant lifetime (milliseconds), even though protonation is highly favorable. [59] One-electron reduction of NO to HNO/NO À is a possible mechanism for nitroxyl generation in biological systems. Of course, the prevalence of this process in biological systems will be highly dependent on the reduction potential of NO.…”

“…The anionic form of nitroxyl is isoelectronic with dioxygen and exists as a triplet, 3 NO − , in aqueous solutions above pH 12; at neutral pH, the protonated singlet 1 HNO dominates (12). HNO does not accumulate in aqueous solutions due its rapid dimerization producing N 2 O between pH 2 to 11 (Eq.…”
