A caged cyanide

A photoactivatable caged cyanide, 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl (NPE) cyanide, was synthesized, which upon irradiation in the near UV releases cyanide. It is demonstrated that the compound can be used to induce formation of the Fe III CN complex in the heme protein nitrophorin 4 from Rhodnius prolixus . A...
