Nickel Acetate Tetrahydrate : Nickel (II) Acetate : (CH3COO)2Ni x 4H2O - [CAS: 6018-89-9 ] - 1000g

Description:

Nickel(II) acetate is an inorganic nickel salt of acetic acid, containing nickel in the +2 oxidation state. It is most commonly encountered as the tetrahydrate, Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O, though an anhydrous form Ni(CH₃COO)₂ also exists. The compound is typically a green to blue-green crystalline solid, with the color arising from Ni²⁺ coordination to ligands such as water and acetate.

General properties:

Solubility: readily soluble in water; also soluble to varying degrees in some alcohols (depending on hydration and conditions).
Solution behavior: aqueous solutions are usually green, characteristic of hydrated Ni²⁺ ions/complexes.
Thermal behavior: on heating it may lose water of crystallization; further heating can lead to decomposition toward nickel oxides/basic nickel species.

Common uses:

as a precursor for preparing other nickel compounds and nickel-containing materials,
in coordination chemistry as a convenient Ni²⁺ source,
in some contexts as a starting material for catalyst preparation.

Safety note: nickel salts are often irritants and many are classified as carcinogenic with chronic exposure; handle with appropriate PPE and ventilation, and follow the relevant SDS for the specific hydrate/form.
