Photolysis of nitric acid in solid nitrogen

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.463541

The large shifts (-30.5 and +41.7 cm^-1, respectively) of the IR absorption lines of nitric acid (HONO2) in a N2 matrix in the ν₁ (OH stretching) and ν₃ (HON bending) vibrational modes, relative to those observed for HONO2 in an Ar matrix, indicate a strong interaction between HONO2 and N2.Photolysis of HONO2 in solid Ar produced predominantly HOONO, whereas relatively intense lines of N2O and HONO were observed after photolysis of HONO2 in solid N2 with a mercury lamp, with the relative yield of HOONO decreased by more than a factor of 10.Possible photochemical processes are discussed.
