Abstract
The electron impacted fragmentation of furoxan derivatives in the mass spectrometer generates nitric oxide through the initial cleavage of O (1)-N(2) bond. The direct generation of NO by a chemical decomposition suggests that the furoxan derivatives can be utilized as a potential NO-related biological probe.
