Potassium cobaltinitrite, IUPAC name potassium hexanitritocobaltate(III), is a coordination compound with the formula K3[Co(NO2)6]. The anion of this yellow-coloured salt consists of a cobalt(III) center bound to six nitrito ligands. It is insoluble in water and is precipitated as yellow solids.
It was first made in 1848 by Nikolaus Wolfgang Fischer in Breslau,[2] and it is used as a yellow pigment called Aureolin.[3][4]
