Nitrosyl iodide is a chemical compound with the formula INO.[1] Alongside nitryl iodide (INO
2
), iodine nitrite (IONO), and iodine nitrate (IONO
2
), it is a member of the INOx (iodine nitrogen oxide) series of compounds, important intermediates and reservoir species in the atmospheric chemistry of iodine.[2][3][4]

Synthesis

Nitrosyl iodide is formed in a reaction of nitric oxide with iodine:[5]

2NO + I
2
→ 2NOI

Other methods are also known.

Physical properties

The compound is soluble in organic solvents. It reacts with water.

The compound is unstable and quickly decomposes:[6]

2NOI → 2NO + I
2

Nitrosyl iodide is believed to impact tropospheric ozone levels.[3]
