Theoretical calculations utilizing relativistic ZORA Hamiltonian point to the conceivable existence of an IrNO 3 molecule in C 3 v geometry. This minimum is shown to correspond to genuine nonavalent iridium nitride trioxide, which is a neutral analogue of cationic [IrO 4 ] + species detected recently. Despite the presence of nitride anion, the molecule is protected by substantial barriers exceeding 200 kJ mol −1 against transformations leading, for example, to global minimum (O=) 2 Ir−NO, which contains metal at a lower formal oxidation state.
