NH4OH instead of NH4NO3
Can be used NH4OH instead of NH4NO3 for the very, VERY dangerous NCl3 synthesis?
Thanx

Well...Nitrogen triiodide can be made with ammonium hydroxide, why not chlorine.
NH3 + X ---> NX3 + NH4X
(X = halogen)

NH4OH does not exist, a NH3 solution in water does undergo this reaction:
NH3 + H2O <--> NH4+ + OH-
Just pointing out a common mistake...
As for your question, it would probably work, although the OH- should react with the Cl2.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.

I believe that in order to make NCl3 you need a slightly acidic solution, which ammonium hydroxide would not be.
