A novel molecular switching system was developed for the direct detection of endogenous nitric oxide. The system is comprised from an Fe(II)–dithiocarbamate complex in which TEMPOL molecule coordinates to the centered iron through a redox interaction. Nitric oxide binds to the iron to liberate the TEMPOL. The system will be potentially useful for the monitoring of endogenous nitric oxide.
