NOBF4

This article is all about the BF4- salt. This is the form that is almost universally used. Options:

1) move it all to NOBF4. My recommendation.
2) leave a skeleton on NO+ and with "see also"
3) do nothing.

I think a move to NOBF4 is the best option. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 14:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bond order

I'm pretty sure that the bond order of NO+ is 3, i checked with MO theory. Sameyley 14:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sam, sorry I didn't mean to revert you. You are correct. I am preparing an SVG image with not only the bond order of 3 but also the 106 pm internuclear separation, since SVG is preferred over JPG.

NO⁻ has a bond order of 2, perhaps this is where the confusion arose.

Thanks for your edit.
