According to X-ray crystallography, S-nitrosotriphenylmethanethiol features a conventional trityl group appended to a bent SNO substituent. The S-N=O angle is 114°, while the S-N and N=O distances are 1.78 and 1.79 Å. Other S-nitrosothiols, e.g. MeSNO and SNAP have characterized by similar structures.[1]
