Gallium(III)-nitrate hydrate Description

Gallium(III)-nitrate hydrate is a water‐soluble white, crystalline powder. It is compatible with nitrates and compounds with a lower pH. Gallium(III)-nitrate hydrate is used as a precursor for the synthesis of other gallium compounds. It is employed in the manufacture of gallium nitride for use in solar cell panels for satellites. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is used to manage symptomatic hypercalcaemia by reducing osteoclast activity, thereby decreasing bone resorption.
