Hexaperchloratoaluminate 3− has perchlorate groups instead of nitrate, and is similarly sensitive to water. Pentanitratoaluminates have five nitrate groups. Tetranitratoaluminates have only four nitrate groups.Examples
A known salt is potassium hexanitratoaluminate K3.Tetramethylammonium hexanitratoaluminate can be formed from tetramethylammonium chloride, aluminium chloride and dinitrogen tetroxide diluted with nitromethane.
Rubidium hexanitratoaluminate also exists.
