Na3O4

Sodium tetroxide, with the chemical formula Na3O4, is an inorganic compound that has been the subject of scientific interest. It is a salt of sodium and the hypothetical tetroxide anion. The existence and stability of Na3O4 have been debated, with some research suggesting its potential formation under specific extreme conditions, such as high pressure or in exotic environments. However, it is not a commonly encountered or stable compound under standard laboratory conditions. Its synthesis, if achievable, would likely require specialized techniques and conditions. The properties of Na3O4 are not well-established due to its limited study and likely instability. Theoretical calculations have explored its potential electronic structure and bonding characteristics. Further research would be needed to definitively confirm its existence and fully characterize its chemical and physical properties.
