• Canonical SMILES: [N+](=O)([O-])[O-].[N+](=O)([O-])[O-].[Cu+2]
• Physical Properties: Blue-green orthorhombic crystals; deliquescent; sublimes; readily dissolves in water, alcohols and dioxane. The trihydrate and hexahydrate are blue rhombohedral crystals; hygroscopic; density 2.32 g/cm3 (trihydrate), 2.07 g/cm3 (hexahydrate); melts at 114°C (trihydrate); trihydrate decomposes at 170°C; hexahydrate decomposes to trihydrate at 26.4°C; both the hydrates are very soluble in water and ethanol.
• Uses: Copper(II) nitrate is used in light-sensitive reproduction papers; as a mordant in dyeing and printing of fabrics; as a coloring reagent for ceramics; for coloring copper black; as a burnishing agent for iron; in nickel-plating baths; in pyrotechnic compositions; and in paints, varnishes, and enamels. Other applications are as an oxidizing agent; nitrating agent for aromatics; as a catalyst; and an analytical standard for copper. Copper nitrate trihydrate occurs in nature as the mineral gerhardite. Light-sensitive papers; analytical reagent; mordant in textile dyeing; nitrating agent; insecticide for vines; coloring copper black; electroplating; production of burnished effect on iron; paints; varnishes, enamels; pharmaceutical preparations; catalyst.
