Aluminium nitrite
Description
Aluminium nitrite (
Al
(
NO
2
)
3
Al(NO
2
)
3
) is not a well-characterized or commonly encountered compound in chemistry. Known aluminium nitride compounds are either aluminium nitrate (
Al(NO
3
)
3
Al(NO
3
)
3
) or aluminium nitride (
AlN
AlN), but there is no evidence of a stable or commercially available aluminium nitrite compound.
Clarification on Nomenclature
Aluminium nitrite would refer to a compound with aluminium and nitrite ions (

No reliable sources or industrial processes describe or manufacture this compound, most likely owing to its instability—nitrite complexes of aluminium hydrolyze and decompose easily, and do not persist under normal conditions.
Common Aluminium Nitrogen Compounds
Aluminium nitride (
AlN
AlN): A well-known, thermally conductive, electrically insulating ceramic material used for electronics, substrates, and semiconductor applications.
Aluminium nitrate (
