Fluorine nitrate is an unstable derivative of nitric acid with the formula FNO
3
. It is shock-sensitive.[1] Due to its instability, it is often produced from chlorine nitrate as needed[citation needed]. Fluorine nitrate is an inert molecule thought to play a significant role in atmospheric chemistry.[2]
