Strontium nitrate Strontium nitrate Strontium nitrate is an inorganic compound made of the elements strontium and nitrogen with the formula Sr(NO). This colorless solid is used as a red colorant and oxidizer in pyrotechnics. Strontium nitrate is typically generated by the reaction of nitric acid on strontium carbonate. Like many other strontium salts, strontium nitrate is used to produce a rich red flame in fireworks and road flares. The oxidizing properties of this salt are advantageous in such applications. Strontium nitrate can aid in eliminating and lessening skin irritations. When mixed with glycolic acid, strontium nitrate reduces the sensation of skin irritation
Titanium nitrate Titanium nitrate Titanium nitrate is the inorganic compound with formula Ti(NO). It is a colorless, diamagnetic solid that sublimes readily. It is an unusual example of a volatile binary transition metal nitrate. Ill defined species called titanium nitrate are produced upon dissolution of titanium or its oxides in nitric acid. Similarly to its original method, Ti(NO) is prepared by the nitration of titanium tetrachloride using dinitrogen pentoxide: A hydrated titanium nitrate is produced upon dissolution of titanium compounds in nitric acid. The complex has D symmetry, with four bidentate nitrate ligands. The N-O distances are 1·29 Å and 1·185 Å
