Saturated Nitrogen Tetroxide

Condensed from McCarty, R. D., H-U. Steurer, et al., NBS IR 86 - 3054, 1986 (106 pp.). M = mol wt for the reaction N204 — 2N02 — 2NO + 02. No derived thermodynamic functions were tabulated due to unduly large differences in literature values, but 92 references are given.

Polyolefins and acetylenic hydrocarbons react with almost explorave violence with white fuming nitric acid, and olefins react vigorously. Saturated hydrocarbons, however, such as n-decane react slowly with concentrated nitric acid. Cyclo-monoolefins, e.g., cyclohexene, may be nitrated with nitrogen tetroxide to mixtures of 1,2-dinitrocyclohexane apd nitritonitrocyclohexane. ...
