Trifluoronitrosomethane (commonly abbreviated as TFNM) is a toxic and unstable gaseous compound consisting of a trifluoromethyl group covalently bound to a nitroso group. The gas is notable for its intense blue colour.
==Properties== Although it is somewhat more kinetically stable than expected due to its fluorine substituents, trifluoronitrosomethane, like other nitroso compounds, has a C–N bond that is weaker than normal. The bond enthalpy of the C–N bond is only 167 kJ/mol (39.9 kcal/mol).
