Trifluoronitrosomethane [CF3NO] is a blue, stable nonflammable gas with an 
unpleasant odor.

It is highly toxic by inhalation and is a strong irritant to mucous membranes 
and tissue.

It is used as a monomer [building block] for specialty rubbers [nitroso rubber, 
in conjunction with tetrafluoroethylene] and as a military poison gas.

This material is not for amatuer, kitchen chemists.
