It explosively reacts with metals, metal chlorides, alcohols, ethers, and most organic materials. When it is heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of Cl2 and NOx.
It can be produced by the reaction of dichlorine monoxide and dinitrogen pentoxide at 0 °C:[1]
or by the reaction:[2]
It can also react with alkenes:
