'''Chromium(III) nitrate''' describes several [[inorganic compound]]s consisting of chromium, nitrate and varying amounts of water. Most common is the dark violet hydrated solid, but an [[anhydrous]] green form is also known. These compounds are not important commercially but are commonly found in academic laboratories.
'''Chromium(III) nitrate''' describes several [[inorganic compound]]s consisting of chromium, nitrate and varying amounts of water. Most common is the dark violet hygroscopic solid. An [[anhydrous]] green form is also known. Chromium(III) nitrate compounds are of a limited commercial importance, finding some applications in the dyeing industry.<ref name=Ullmann/> It is common in academic laboratories for the synthesis of chromium [[coordination complex]]es.

The relatively complicated [[chemical formula|formula]] - [Cr(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>6</sub>](NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub>•3H<sub>2</sub>O - highlights the complicated structure of this material. The chromium centers are bound to six water [[ligand]]s, and the remaining volume of the solid is occupied by three nitrate anions and three [[water of crystallization|molecules of water of crystallization]]. Such complicated formulas typify [[hydrate]]d metal salts.

The [[anhydrous]] salt forms green crystals and very soluble in water. At 100 °C it decomposes. The red-violet hydrate is highly soluble in water. Chromium nitrate is used in the production of [[alkali metal]]-free [[catalyst]]s and in [[Pickling (metal)|pickling]].
The [[anhydrous]] salt forms green crystals and is very soluble in water (in contrast to anhydrous [[chromium(III) chloride]] which dissolves very slowly except under special conditions). At 100 °C it decomposes. The red-violet hydrate is highly soluble in water. Chromium nitrate is used in the production of [[alkali metal]]-free [[catalyst]]s and in [[Pickling (metal)|pickling]].


Chromium nitrate can be prepared by dissolving [[chromium oxide]] in [[nitric acid]].<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a07_067|title=Chromium Compounds|year=2000|last1=Anger|first1=Gerd|last2=Halstenberg|first2=Jost|last3=Hochgeschwender|first3=Klaus|last4=Scherhag|first4=Christoph|last5=Korallus|first5=Ulrich|last6=Knopf|first6=Herbert|last7=Schmidt|first7=Peter|last8=Ohlinger|first8=Manfred|isbn=3527306730}}</ref>
