Nitryl chloride explained

Nitryl chloride is a volatile inorganic compound with formula ClNO₂. At standard conditions it is a gas.

Formation

Nitryl chloride can be formed in the reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide with chlorides or hydrogen chloride:

N₂O₅ + 2HCl → 2ClNO₂ + H₂O

N₂O₅ + NaCl → ClNO₂ + NaNO₃

Reactions

Nitryl chloride adds to olefins in a radical reaction.
