Gaseous nitric oxide was examined from 4000 to 1600 cm−1 at temperatures between 77 and 150°K with a 3.9‐m and a 6‐cm cell. Features found at 1860 and 1788 cm−1 exhibited a quadratic pressure dependence and were assigned to (NO)2. The band shape of these features indicated the presence of a cis‐(NO)2 isomer. The heat of formation of (NO)2 from monomeric NO is . Other bands due to (NO)2 are reported.

The convention used in this paper is the following: or will denote a particular axis and the corresponding moment of inertia along that axis. The axes are always chosen such that is perpendicular to the plane of the dimer. In the cis configuration, is parallel to the N‐N bond and perpendicular to it.
