Hello all,

I would like to ask you if anybody has any input on the reactivity of gaseous nitrosyl chloride towards acetonitrile.

I wanted to perform a methathesis reaction between NOCl and a weakly coordinating salt of sodium in acetonitrile and would like to know whether my approach is save to handle or just irresponsibly hazardous.

The idea was to bubble NOCl through a solution of the sodium salt in acetonitrile, hoping that sodium chloride would precipitate out and leave my nitrosonium ion with the weakly coordinating ion in solution.

Thanks in advance for any information provided!
