Chemical properties

green monoclinic crystal(s); hygroscopic; used in textiles as a mordant [HAW93]

The Uses of Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate

Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate can be used in synthesis of polynuclear-nickel polyoxotungstate cluster compounds that are ideal for the design of molecular magnets.

The Uses of Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate

Nickel(II) Acetate Tetrahydrate is a reactant in the synthesis of metalloprophyrazines as active components of membranes of anion-selective electrodes.

Safety Profile

Confirmed human carcinogen. Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also NICKEL(II) ACETATE and NICKEL COMPOUNDS.

Purification Methods

The acetate crystallises from aqueous AcOH as the green tetrahydrate salt. It is soluble in 6 parts of H2O. It forms lower hydrates and should be kept in a well-sealed container. [Hardt & Pohlmann Z Anorg Allgem Chem 343 92 1966, Beilstein 2 IV 120.]
