Hydrogenating the even more mysterious N≡N triple bond in a nitric oxide dimer.
Year: 2025
Type: other
Abstract: Previously[1] I looked at some of the properties of the mysterious dimer of nitric oxide 1 – not the known weak dimer but a higher energy form with a "triple" N≡N bond. This valence bond isomer of the weak dimer was some 24 kcal/mol higher in free energy than the two nitric oxide molecules it would be formed from.
