Copper(I) nitrate is a proposed inorganic compound with formula of CuNO3. It has not been characterized by X-ray crystallography. It is the focus of one publication, which describes unsuccessful efforts to isolate the compound. Another nonexistent simple copper(I) compound derived from an oxyanion is cuprous perchlorate. On the other hand, cuprous sulfate is known.[1]
