The reversible redox transformations [(NO)(2)Fe(S(t)Bu)(2)](-) ⇌ [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2)(2-) ⇌ [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2)(-) ⇌ [Fe(μ-S(t)Bu)(NO)(2)](2) and [cation][(NO)(2)Fe(SEt)(2)] ⇌ [cation](2)[(NO)(2)Fe(SEt)(2)] (cation = K(+)-18-crown-6 ether) are demonstrated. The countercation of the {Fe(NO)(2)}(9) dinitrosyliron complexes (DNICs) functions to control the formation of the {Fe(NO)(2)}(10){Fe(NO)(2)}(10) dianionic reduced Roussin's

Absolute 18-crown-6 (18C6) binding affinities of four protonated acetylated amino acids (AcAAs) are determined using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry techniques. The AcAAs examined in this work include: N-terminal acetylated lysine (N(α)-AcLys), histidine (N(α)-AcHis), and arginine (N(α)-AcArg) as well
