Bismuth nitrate is a chemical compound, specifically a salt, containing bismuth in its +3 oxidation state and nitrate anions. It's commonly found as a pentahydrate (Bi(NO₃)₃•5H₂O), a white crystalline solid, and is used in various applications, including organic synthesis and as a reagent. Bismuth nitrate is also notable for being a relatively mild nitrating agent in organic chemistry, and some bismuth-containing compounds are used medicinally to treat gastrointestinal issues. 

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Treatment of gastrointestinal ailments: Bismuth compounds have been used extensively as medicines and in particular for the treatment of gastrointestinal ailments. In addition to bismuth's well known gastroprotective effects and efficacy in treating H. pylori infection it also has broad anti-microbial, anti-leishmanial and anti-cancer properties.
  • Treatment of duodenal ulcers: Bismuth subnitrate, also referred to as bismuth oxynitrate or bismuthyl nitrate, is a highly water-soluble crystalline compound that has been used as a treatment for duodenal ulcers and anti-diarrheic agent.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Source of bismuth ions: Bismuth nitrate serves as a source of bismuth ions for the synthesis of various other bismuth-containing materials, including bismuth titanate and bismuth oxofumarate
  • Precursor: Bismuth nitrate is utilized as a precursor for various bismuth compounds, particularly bismuth oxide nanoparticles, and as a catalyst in organic reactions.
