Hexanitratoaluminate is an anion of aluminium and six nitrate groups with formula [Al(NO₃)₆]³⁻ that can form salts called hexanitratoaluminates.

Related compounds

Hexaperchloratoaluminate [Al(ClO₄)₆]³⁻^[1] has perchlorate groups instead of nitrate, and is similarly sensitive to water. Pentanitratoaluminates have five nitrate groups.^[2] Tetranitratoaluminates have only four nitrate groups.^[3]

Examples

A known salt is potassium hexanitratoaluminate K₃[Al(NO₃)₆].

Tetramethylammonium hexanitratoaluminate can be formed from tetramethylammonium chloride, aluminium chloride and dinitrogen tetroxide diluted with nitromethane.^[4]

Rubidium hexanitratoaluminate also exists.^[5]
