Abstract
THE Nitrosyl Ion, A few months ago, Addison and Thompson1 published a preliminary account of certain reactions which they had carried out in liquid dinitregen tetroxide and concluded that “where electron transfer can readily occur . . . reactions . . . can be interpreted on the basis of the ionizafion: N2O4 ⇌ NO+ + NO3-. One of us has already adduced experimental evidence for the existence of the nitrosyl (NO+) ion in certain compounds2 and, consequently, was prompted by Addison and Thompson's work to explore the possibility of establishing the existence of NO+ in liquid dinitrogen tetroxide or, alternatively, of establishing the conditions conducive to the production of this ion.
