Abstract

Nitromethane decomposes over alumina to give various surface species such as isocyanates and its oxidation by O2 yields significant amounts of ammonia; on the other hand, tert-butyl nitrite decomposes to give only surface nitrate species and mostly oxides of nitrogen are formed by reaction with O2.
