when it occurs in a larger compound as a univalent fragment. Examples include nitryl fluoride
Nitryl fluoride, NO2F, is a colourless gas and strong oxidizing agent, which is used as a fluorinating agent and has been proposed as an oxidiser in rocket propellants (though never flown).

(NO2F) and nitryl chloride
Nitryl chloride is a volatile inorganic compound with formula ClNO2. At standard conditions it is a gas.
Formation
Nitryl chloride can be formed in the reaction of dinitrogen pentoxide with chlorides or hydrogen chloride:
:N2O5 + 2HCl → 2ClNO2 ...
(NO2Cl).
Like nitrogen dioxide, the nitryl moiety contains a nitrogen atom with two bonds to the two oxygen atoms, and a third bond shared equally between the nitrogen and the two oxygen atoms. The nitrogen-centred radical is then free to form a bond with another univalent fragment (X) to produce an N−X bond, where X can be F, Cl, OH, etc.
In organic nomenclature, the nitryl moiety is known as the nitro group
In organic chemistry, nitro compounds are organic compounds that contain one or more nitro functional groups (). The nitro group is one of the most common explosophores (functional group that makes a compound explosive) used globally. The nitr ...
. For instance, nitryl benzene is normally called nitrobenzene (PhNO2).
