synthesis[edit]  The molecule is bent. A double bond exists
between N and O (distance = 1.16 Å) and a single bond between N
and Cl (distance = 1.69 Å). The O-N-Cl angle is less than
180°.[1]   As a simple, stable molecule, NOCl can be prepared in
many ways. NOCl forms by the direct combination of chlorine and
nit
