Organic Chemistry

The Toscano group’s main interests have focused on the application of nanosecond time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy to the study of organic reactive intermediates and the development of novel photochemical precursors to nitric oxide (NO). More recently, our research activities have turned to study of the fundamental chemistry and biochemistry of nitroxyl (HNO). This one-electron reduced and protonated congener of NO has recently received significant attention, especially as a potential alternative to current treatments of cardiac failure.
