(a) A monoclinic unit cell of NO+NO3− at 37 GPa. (b) A representation of the trigonal planar nitrate (top) and linear nitrosonium (bottom) ions with bond lengths and bond angles indicated. (c)–(d) The environment of the O2 and N2 atoms forming the NO+ cation: both N2 and O2 atoms are fivefold coordinated by negatively charged oxygen atoms from the NO3− anions. The lengths are provided in Å. |
