Sodium hexanitritocobaltate(III) is an inorganic compound with the formula Na₃[Co(NO₂)₆]. The anion of this yellow-coloured salt consists of the transition metal nitrite complex [Co(NO₂)₆]³⁻. It was a reagent for the qualitative test for potassium and ammonium ions.^[2]

Synthesis and reactions

The compound is prepared by oxidation of cobalt(II) salts in the presence of sodium nitrite:^[3]

4 [Co(H₂O)₆](NO₃)₂ + O₂ + 24 NaNO₂ → 4 Na₃[Co(NO₂)₆] + 8 NaNO₃ + 4 NaOH + 22 H₂O

Application for analysis of potassium

Although the sodium cobaltinitrite is soluble in water, it forms the basis of a quantitative determination of potassium, thallium, and ammonium ions. Under the recommended reaction conditions the insoluble double salt, K₂Na[Co(NO₂)₆]·H₂O is precipitated and weighed.^[4]^{[page needed]} In geochemical analysis, sodium cobaltinitrite is used to distinguish alkali feldspars from plagioclase feldspars in thin section.^[5]
