Nitratene
Nitratene is a term used in speculative chemistry and fiction to describe a hypothetical nitrogen-oxygen species. It is not known to occur in experimental literature, and no verified synthesis or structural characterization exists.
In several theoretical sketches, nitratene is imagined as a poly-nitrogen oxide with a skeleton that could
Reactivity: predicted to be highly energetic; sensitive to heat, light, and shock; would act as a strong
Synthesis and stability: purely hypothetical; possible routes include controlled oxidation of diazene or related nitrogen compounds,
In fiction and speculative chemistry, nitratene often serves as a placeholder for high-energy nitrogen–oxygen materials and
