Happy to share our recent article. "A terpyridine-based copper complex for electrochemical reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide" is now available online. @apfel_lab @PankajK15895500 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

A terpyridine-based copper complex for electrochemical reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide†

In biological systems, nitrite reductase enzymes (NIRs) are responsible for reduction of nitrite (NO2−) to nitric oxide (NO). These NIRs have mostly Cu- or
