In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.
Being the conjugate base of a strong acid (nitric acid, pK a = -1.4), nitrate has modest Lewis basicity.Two coordination modes are common: unidentate and bidentate.Often, bidentate nitrate, denoted κ 2-NO 3, is bound unsymmetrically in the sense that one M-O distance is clearly bonding and the other is more weakly interacting.

Nitrogen trioxide or nitrate radical is an oxide of nitrogen with formula NO 3, consisting of three oxygen atoms covalently bound to a nitrogen atom. This highly unstable blue compound has not been isolated in pure form, but can be generated and observed as a short-lived component of gas, liquid, or solid systems.
The relatively complicated formula - [Cr(H 2 O) 6](NO 3) 3 •3H 2 O - betray a simple structure of this material. The chromium centers are bound to six aquo ligands, and the remaining volume of the solid is occupied by three nitrate anions and three molecules of water of crystallization. [3]
A nitrate nitrite, or nitrite nitrate, is a coordination complex or other chemical compound that contains both nitrite (NO − 2) and nitrate (NO − 3) anions. They are mixed-anion compounds , and they are mixed-valence compounds .
Iron(III) nitrate, or ferric nitrate, is the name used for a series of inorganic compounds with the formula Fe(NO 3) 3. (H 2 O) n. Most common is the nonahydrate Fe(NO 3) 3. (H 2 O) 9. The hydrates are all pale colored, water-soluble paramagnetic salts.
Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula Na N O 3. This alkali metal nitrate salt is also known as Chile saltpeter (large deposits of which were historically mined in Chile) [4] [5] to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. The mineral form is also known as nitratine, nitratite or soda niter.
Copper(II) nitrate describes any member of the family of inorganic compounds with the formula Cu(NO 3) 2 (H 2 O) x.The hydrates are hygroscopic blue solids. Anhydrous copper nitrate forms blue-green crystals and sublimes in a vacuum at 150-200 °C.
