Abstract:We report on an unexpected reaction between ammonia and potassium ozonide dissolved in liq. NH3 resulting in the formation of peroxynitrite, [ONOO]–, which exclusively happens in the presence of a specific partially fluorinated aniline based ammonium cation. High‐resolution structural data of the peroxynitrite anion in cis‐conformation have been obtained. We further studied this molecule anion by single crystal Raman spectroscopy. The cis and trans isomers of peroxynitrite were analyzed computationally with re… Show more
