REACTIONS OF NITRIC OXIDE, NITROSOALKANES WITH GROUP 8 & 9 METALLOPORPHYRINS AND HEME PROTEINS

Abstract

This dissertation describes the interactions of nitric oxide (NO) and C-nitrosoalkanes (RNO) with group 8 and 9 metalloporphyrins and heme proteins. The goal of this research is to provide new information on the coordination chemistry of NO and NO-related compounds.
