title: Light-induced hydrogen sulfide release from "caged" gem-dithiols.
abstract: "Caged" gem-dithiol derivatives that release H2S upon light stimulation have been developed. This new class of H2S donors was proven, by various spectroscopic methods, to generate H2S in an aqueous/organic medium as well as in cell culture.
