Peroxynitrate
Chemical compound

Peroxynitrate (or peroxonitrate) refers to salts of the unstable peroxynitric acid, HNO4. Peroxynitrate is unstable and decomposes to nitrate and dioxygen.

No solid peroxynitrate salts are known. However, there is a report that the chemist Sebastian Moiseevich Tanatar produced sodium peroxynitrate octahydrate (NaNO3·H2O2·8H2O) by evaporating a solution of sodium nitrate and hydrogen peroxide until crystallisation begins and then mixing with alcohol to form crystals of the octahydrate.
