Carbon monoxide belongs to the family of signaling molecules and has been shown to possess therapeutic effects. Similar to NO, safe delivery of CO is a key issue in developing CO-based therapeutics. Herein we report a "click and release" CO-prodrug approach, which allows the release of CO under physiological conditions without the need for light irradiation. The system releases CO in a triggered and controllable manner and possesses the potential of tunable release rates.
