The new radical HONF has been detected in the gas phase by neutralization-reionization mass spectrometry (NRMS). The radical has been identified and directly characterized as a gaseous isolated species, having a lifetime of at least 1 mus and a linear cis-trans structure of H-O-N-F connectivity. Detection of this molecule, which is highly unstable towards the dissociation into HF and NO and kinetically sufficiently stable to be observed, represents an advance in the search for high-energy species.

Abstract
The new radical HONF has been detected in the gas phase by neutralization-reionization mass spectrometry (NRMS). The radical has been identified and directly characterized as a gaseous isolated species, having a lifetime of at least 1 mus and a linear cis-trans structure of H-O-N-F connectivity. Detection of this molecule, which is highly unstable towards the dissociation into HF and NO and kinetically sufficiently stable to be observed, represents an advance in the search for high-energy species.File in questo prodotto:
