How well a planet retains an atmospheric gas depends on the planet's
gravity, the temperature of the upper atmosphere, and the molecular
weight of the gas. It doesn't matter at all what the gas compound
is mixed with.

For Mars, an atmosphere of N2O might work. And, until you completed
your modifications of the human genotype so that they can breathe
this atmosphere, at least your Martian colonists would properly
appreciate your ideas.
