Chlorine nitrate, with chemical formula ClONO₂ is an important atmospheric gas present in the stratosphere. It is an important sink of reactive chlorine and nitrogen, and thus its formation and destruction play an important role in the depletion of ozone.{{cite journal |last1=von Clarmann |first1=Thomas |last2=Johansson |first2=Sören |title=Chlorine nitrate in the atmosphere |journal=Atmos.
