Application
- Nitrous oxide allows selective oxygen atom transfer reactions while minimizing the risk of over-oxidation. Therefore, it is used to oxidize disilenes, silanimines, silaethenes and silylenes.
- Along with Ru-porphyrin catalyst, it can be used in the epoxidation of olefins and steroids.
- It can be used as an oxidant in for the metal-catalyzed oxidative homo- and cross-coupling of Grignard reagents.
- N2O can also be used as a nitrogen-dopant source to synthesize p-type zinc oxide nanowires (ZnO NWs) via vapor-liquid-solid growth.

Nitrous oxide (N2 O) emissions from soils contribute significantly to global warming. Mitigation of N2 O emissions is severely hampered by a lack of understanding of its main controls. Fluxes can only partly be predicted from soil abiotic factors and

Herbivores are a significant source of nitrous oxide (N(2)O) emissions. They account for a large share of manure-related N(2)O emissions, as well as soil-related N(2)O emissions through the use of grazing land, and land for feed and forage production. It
