[GRAPHICS]
The first series of O-NO bond dissociation enthalpies was determined in sol
ution for eight O-nitrosyl carboxylate compounds by direct titration calori
metry with a thermodynamic cycle. The derived bond energy data may serve as
a quantitative guide to predict the NO binding and releasing abilities of
the related amino acids.
