Wikipedia definition
2. NitriteThe nitrite ion has the chemical formula NO2. The anion is symmetric with equal N-O bond lengths and a O-N-O bond angle of about 120°. On protonation the unstable weak acid nitrous acid is produced. Nitrite can be oxidized or reduced, with product somewhat dependent on the oxidizing/reducing agent. The nitrite ion is an ambidentate ligand and is known to bond to metal centers in at least five different ways. Nitrite is important in biochemistry as a source of the vasodilator nitric oxide.
