Infobox references

Beryllium nitrate, also known as beryllium dinitrate, is an ionic beryllium salt of nitric acid with the chemical formula Be(NO₃)₂. Each formula unit is composed of one Be²⁺ cation and two NO₃⁻ anions.

Hazards

Beryllium nitrate is a toxic chemical, like all other beryllium compounds. It is also an irritant in small doses. When burned, it gives off irritating or toxic fumes. However, when massive short-term exposure occurs, acute pneumonitis can set in, but symptoms do not manifest themselves for 3 days.

Preparation

Beryllium nitrate can be prepared by reacting beryllium hydroxide in nitric acid.

Be(OH)₂ + 2 HNO₃ → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2 H₂O
