Beryllium Nitrite Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

According to Sidgwick, Beryllium nitrite cannot be prepared, owing to the weakness of the acid, HNO2 Parsons states that beryllium nitrite has never been prepared. The efforts of Vogel (1903) proved fruitless as the solution immediately hydrolyzed with loss of the oxides of nitrogen. It might possibly be prepared in nonaqueous solutions. However, there is no record of this having ever been done.
If beryllium nitrite is to be prepared by the usual double decomposition reaction of sodium nitrite and BeCl2:
2NaNO2 (aq) + BeCl2 ?Be(NO2)2 (aq) + 4NaCl (aq)
The product is likely to be Be(OH)NO2 if it is obtained under vacuum evaporation at 10°C. Whether a hydrate forms or not remains unknown. Furthermore, the product probably will not be stable in air and will decompose at room temperature unless protected from the atmosphere.
