Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract
The thermodynamic properties of aqueous nitroxyl (HNO) and its anion (NO − ) have been revised to show that the ground state of NO − is triplet and that HNO in its singlet ground state has much lower acidity, pKa( 1 HNO/ 3 NO − ) ≈ 11.4, than previously believed. These conclusions are in accord with the observed large differences between 1 HNO and 3 NO − in their reactivities toward O 2 and NO. Laser flash photolysis was used to generate 1 HNO and 3 NO − by photochemical cleavage of trioxodinitrate (Angeli's anion). The spin-allowed addition of 3 O 2 to 3 NO − produced peroxynitrite with nearly diffusion-controlled rate ( k = 2.7 × 10 9 M −1 ⋅s −1 ). In contrast, the spin-forbidden addition of 3 O 2 to 1 HNO was not detected ( k ≪ 3 × 10 5 M −1 ⋅s −1 ). Both 1 HNO and 3 NO − reacted sequentially with two NO to generate N 3 O \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document} \begin{equation*}{\mathrm{_{3}^{-}}}\end{equation*}\end{document} as a long-lived intermediate; the rate laws of N 3 O \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document} \begin{equation*}{\mathrm{_{3}^{-}}}\end{equation*}\end{document} formation were linear in concentrations of NO and 1 HNO ( k = 5.8 × 10 6 M −1 ⋅s −1 ) or NO and 3 NO − ( k = 2.3 × 10 9 M −1 ⋅s −1 ). Catalysis by the hydroxide ion was observed for the reactions of 1 HNO with both O 2 and NO. This effect is explicable by a spin-forbidden deprotonation by OH − ( k = 4.9 × 10 4 M −1 ⋅s −1 ) of the relatively unreactive 1 HNO into the extremely reactive 3 NO − . Dimerization of 1 HNO to produce N 2 O occurred much more slowly ( k = 8 × 10 6 M −1 ⋅s −1 ) than previously suggested. The implications of these results for evaluating the biological roles of nitroxyl are discussed.
