NOxideid

NOxideid is a coined term describing a hypothetical class of inorganic materials that integrate nitrogen oxide units into oxide-like networks. It is not an established chemical species; no standard formula exists, and the term appears in speculative chemistry discussions and in some science fiction contexts.

In theoretical discussions, NOxideids are proposed to form extended lattices in which nitrite, nitrate, or nitrosyl units connect to metal cations, creating three-dimensional frameworks or porous solids. The exact stoichiometry and crystal structure vary among proposals, and candidates often involve transition metals to balance oxidation states and provide redox flexibility.

There is no experimentally confirmed example of NOxideid. Proposed routes include high-pressure synthesis, plasma-assisted routes, or computationally guided design. Because it remains hypothetical, reported properties are speculative and draw from related oxide-nitrite or nitrosyl chemistry rather than established data.

If synthesized, NOxideids could display interesting redox chemistry, gas adsorption, or catalytic activity for oxidation reactions, and potential use in energy storage or sensing. However, given the lack of empirical data, any applications are hypothetical and subject to significant uncertainty. In literature and world-building contexts, NOxideid is often used as a conceptual material to explore nitrogen-oxide chemistry and oxide frameworks without asserting real-world existence.
