Nitrosylsulfuric acid is the chemical compound with the formula NOHSO4.
This salt is a source of the NO+ ion, It can also be viewed as the mixed acid anhydride of sulfuric acid and nitrous acid:
- HNO2 + H2SO4 → NOHSO4 +H2O
NOHSO4 is useful in organic chemistry to prepare diazonium salts from amines. A typical procedure entails dissolving sodium nitrite in concentrated sulfuric acid in an ice bath.[1][2]
Related NO-delivery reagents include nitrosyl fluoroborate, [NO]BF4, and nitrosyl chloride.
