Nitrate and Nitrite Compounds, Inorganic

Hazard Predictions

Esters are incompatibile with nitrates (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1547). Thiocarbamate and dithiocarbamate esters may react in a similar way.

In general, nitrate and nitrite salts with redox active cations are more reactive with organic materials and reducing agents than nitrate salts with non-redox-active cations at ambient conditions. Redox active cations are transition metals and the metals in group 3a, 4a, and 5a of the periodic table and also include the ammonium cation NH4+. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
