Both "obstante" and "no obstante" seem to be translated as "however", so are they exact synonyms?

I've always seen ''no obstante'' translated as ''nevertheless'' or ''not withstanding.'' It's really formal. - michellech, Oct 21, 2011

I don't know if I've ever seen/heard obstante used by itself. I always think of it in reference to the phrase no obstante - nevertheless.
