Claims16
A method of producing nitric oxide comprising:
- providing a composition comprising a three-dimensional metal-organic framework;
- exposing the composition to a physiological fluid including a nitric oxide-releasing compound;
- and
- continuously producing nitric oxide from the nitric oxide-releasing compound via a catalytic reaction catalyzed by the three dimensional metal-organic framework, wherein the metal-organic framework comprises Cu(1,3,5-benzenetristetrazolate).
