Peroxynitric acid orperoxonitric acid is achemical compound with theformulaHNO
4. It is anoxyacid of nitrogen, afterperoxynitrous acid.
Peroxynitrate, the conjugate base of peroxynitric acid, is formed rapidly during decomposition ofperoxynitrite in neutral conditions.[4]
Peroxynitric acid is formed in the atmosphere, although it is unstable, it is important as a reservoir for NO2 through the reversible radical reaction:[5]
