Beryllium nitrate is an inorganic compound with the idealized chemical formula Be(NO3)2.

"When added to water, brown fumes are evolved; when hydrolyzed in sodium hydroxide solution, both nitrate and nitrite ions are produced.

"[2] The straw-colored adduct Be(NO3)2(N2O4) forms upon treatment of beryllium chloride with dinitrogen tetroxide: Upon heating, this adduct loses N2O4 and produces colorless Be(NO3)2.

Further heating of Be(NO3)2 induces conversion to basic beryllium nitrate, which adopts a structure akin to that for basic beryllium acetate.

[4] Unlike the basic acetate, with its six lipophilic methyl groups, the basic nitrate is insoluble in most solvents.
