copper ii nitrate trihydrate is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula Cu(NO3)2. It appears as blue crystalline solids and is used as a reagent for chemical analysis, a dyeing agent and as an insecticide. The trihydrate form is also used to demonstrate chemical voltaic cell reactions in schools. The anhydrous salt is soluble in water and ethanol, but insoluble in ethyl acetate. It is converted to copper oxide, a powerful catalyst in organic synthesis. The hydrate form is a mordant in textile dyeing and serves as a polishing agent for other metals. It is also used as a raw material for making copper oxide and as a pesticide ingredient.
It is a strong oxidant and is highly soluble in alcohol and water. It forms several hydrates, the most common being the hexahydrate and the trihydrate. The hexahydrate is interesting because it does not exhibit the Jahn-Teller distortion seen in most other octahedral copper(II) complexes. It is also unique in that its Cu-O distances do not vary significantly, as is typical for other octahedral compounds. Copper(II) nitrate trihydrate is available from American Elements in a variety of standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; and Optical Grade. American Elements can also produce materials to custom specifications.
