Ionizing irradiation of N₂-O₂-SO₂ mixtures at pressures between 10 and 30 atm produced a white solid product of approximate formula (NO₂)₂S₂O₁₀. When the SO₂ was quantitatively consumed in the presence of an excess of N₂ and O₂, only NO₂ and N₂O were found in the gas phase as products. The G-value for nitrogen fixation (in the condensed and gas phases) was not large and seldom exceeded unity.
