What it is Filled
Fluorine nitrate is a covalent inorganic compound with molecular formula FNO3 and connectivity F-O-NO2, in which fluorine is bonded to an oxygen atom of the nitrate group.
In scope
- Molecular identity of FONO2 and reconciliation of chemical identifiers
- Fluorine nitrate content, impurities and dilution in individual samples
- Physical phase and measured properties under stated conditions
- Analytical evidence distinguishing intact FONO2 from other fluorine-nitrogen-oxygen species
- Evidence for decomposition, reactivity, compatibility and handling restrictions
- Substance-specific regulatory identity and classification provenance
Out of scope
- Manufacturing equipment and detailed synthesis procedures
- Complete formulations or commercial products containing fluorine nitrate
- Separate models of fluorine, nitric acid and other related substances
- Facility ventilation, containment and emergency-response system design
- Atmospheric transport models and complete atmospheric reaction mechanisms
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify fluorine nitrate, assess the evidence for its condition and composition, and determine whether a proposed use has adequate chemical and safety support.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Require molecular formula FNO3 and F-O-N connectivity, conventionally written FONO2; formula alone is insufficient to establish connectivity. [NIST Chemistry WebBook](https://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/cbook.cgi?ID=C7789266&Mask=800)
- Reconcile the name with CAS 7789-26-6 and InChIKey VHFBTKQOIBRGQP-UHFFFAOYSA-N. [NIST Chemistry WebBook](https://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/cbook.cgi?ID=C7789266&Mask=800)
- Reject identity matches based solely on the words fluoride and nitrate: a mixture or salt containing those ions does not establish the presence of molecular FONO2.
- Require analytical evidence for intact FONO2; elemental fluorine, nitrogen and oxygen measurements alone cannot distinguish it from a mixture or decomposition products.

Must not
