Mercury nitrite (HgNO₂) is an inorganic ceramic compound containing mercury and nitrite ions, belonging to the class of metal nitrite ceramics. This is a specialized and relatively uncommon material with limited documented industrial applications; it represents a research-level compound primarily of interest in specialized chemistry and materials science contexts rather than mainstream engineering practice. Due to mercury's toxicity and regulatory restrictions in many jurisdictions, HgNO₂ has largely been displaced by safer alternatives in any historical applications it may have served.
