Nitrosodisulfide S2NO- is a controversial intermediate in the reactions of S-nitrosothiols with HS- that produce NO and HNO. QM-MM molecular dynamics simulations combined with TD-DFT analysis contribute to a clear identification of S2NO- in water, acetone and acetonitrile, accounting for the UV-Vis signatures and broadening the mechanistic picture of N/S signaling in biochemistry.
