title: N-heterocyclic carbene nitric oxide radicals.
abstract: N-Heterocyclic carbene-stabilized nitric oxide radicals were prepared by direct addition of nitric oxide to two N-heterocyclic carbenes in solution phase. The compounds were fully characterized by X-ray crystallography and EPR. The nitric oxide moiety in the solid compounds obtained can be thermally transferred to another N-heterocyclic carbene, suggesting potential applications to NO delivery.
