Preparation
editPeroxynitrate, the conjugate base of peroxynitric acid, is formed rapidly during decomposition of peroxynitrite in neutral conditions.[4]
Atmospheric chemistry
editPeroxynitric acid is formed in the atmosphere, although it is unstable, it is important as a reservoir for NO2 through the reversible radical reaction:[5]
- HO
2NO
2 ⇌ HO•
2 + NO•
