dinitrogen tetroxide: A colourlessto pale yellow liquid or a brown gas,N₂O₄; r.d. 1.45 (liquid); m.p. –11.2°C;b.p. 21.2°C. It dissolves in water withreaction to give a mixture of nitricacid and nitrous acid. It may be readilyprepared in the laboratory by thereaction of copper with concentratednitric acid; mixed nitrogen oxidescontaining dinitrogen oxide may alsobe produced by heating metal nitrates.The solid compound is whollyN₂O₄ and the liquid is about 99%N₂O₄ at the boiling point; N2O4 is diamagnetic.In the gas phase it dissociatesto give nitrogen dioxideN₂O₄?2NO₂Because of the unpaired electron thisis paramagnetic and brown. LiquidN₂O₄ has been widely studied as anonaqueous solvent system (selfionizesto NO⁺ and NO₃^-). Dinitrogentetroxide, along with other nitrogenoxides, is a product of combustionengines and is thought to be involvedin the depletion of stratosphericozone.
