Abstract

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 N ₂. 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.
