ABSTRACT
We have determined the initial concentrations of nitrite and nitrate for three different methods of synthesizing peroxynitrite using an ultraviolet second-derivative spectroscopy method (Fig. 3). As expected, the net nitrogen balance in these preparations (Fig. 4) and the yields of nitrite and nitrate (Table II) indicate that, at pH 6.0, peroxynitrite decomposes to give essentially NO3-. Stock solutions of peroxynitrite prepared using method I (ozonation of azide) consistently contain more NO2- and NO3- than method II (isoamyl nitrite with hydrogen peroxide) and method III (hydrogen peroxide with nitrous acid). Method II gives the least amount of NO2- contaminants, and NO3- impurities are the lowest in method III (Table I).
