Nitratoauric acid, hydrogen tetranitratoaurate, or simply called gold(III) nitrate is a crystalline gold compound that forms the trihydrate, HAu(NO3)4·3H2O or more correctly H5O2Au(NO3)4·H2O.[3][2] This compound is an intermediate in the process of extracting gold.[4] In older literature it is also known as aurinitric acid.[5]
