The nitronium ion or sometimes the nitryl ion (incorrect because it is not a radical) NO+2 is a generally reactive cation created by the removal of an electron from the paramagnetic nitrogen dioxide molecule or the protonation of nitric acid.It is stable enough to exist in normal conditions but it is used extensively as an electrophile in the nitration of other substances.
