Trifluoromethanesulphonylhydroxamic acid, CF3 SO2 NHOH, is shown to release HNO under physiological pH conditions. A two-step synthesis is presented with the first complete characterization of CF3 SO2 NHOH. This molecule rapidly decomposes in neutral aqueous solution to cleanly release HNO and CF3 SO2- , which was demonstrated using the HNO traps TXPTS and HOCbl, and by 19 F NMR spectroscopy.
