Abstract
A comparison of chemistry of peroxynitrites and peroxynitrates is reviewed. The formation and decomposition mechanisms for peroxynitrite and peroxynitrate are presented. In addition, alkyl and metal peroxynitrites and peroxinitrates are discussed, as well as the reaction of peroxynitrite and peroxynitrate with CO2. Finally, the biological implications of the described reactions are detailed.
