Nitryl is the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) moiety when it occurs in a larger compound. Examples include nitryl fluoride (NO2F) and nitryl chloride (NO2Cl).
Like nitrogen dioxide, the nitryl moiety contains a nitrogen with two bonds to the two oxygen atoms, and a third bond shared equally between the nitrogen and the two oxygen atoms.
