Quantitative release of NO is exclusively controlled by light excitation in a self‐assembled monolayer of an NO donor on a gold surface (see picture). The low excitation energy required, the absence of noxious side effects, the thermal stability under physiological conditions, and the ease of preparation are additional advantages offered by the monolayer‐modified gold plate.
