NH42CeNO36
NH42CeNO36 is a chemical compound that represents ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate. This inorganic salt is characterized by the presence of ammonium cations (NH4+), cerium cations in the +4 oxidation state (Ce4+), and nitrate anions (NO3-). The formula indicates that for every cerium ion, there are two ammonium ions and six nitrate ions. Ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate typically appears as a red crystalline solid and is soluble in water.
This compound is a powerful oxidizing agent, especially in acidic solutions. Its oxidizing strength makes it
Ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate is prepared through the reaction of cerium(IV) oxide or hydroxide with nitric acid
