Nickel(2+) diacetate(CAS: 373-02-4)

Nickel(2+) diacetate is a complex of nickel ions (Ni2+) with two acetate ligands (CH3COO-). Its chemical formula is Ni(CH3COO)2. This compound is used in various applications due to its reactivity and stability in certain environments.

Nickel(2+) diacetate is primarily used in electroplating, as a catalyst in organic synthesis, and in the production of nickel compounds. It is also used in the development of analytical reagents and as a precursor in the synthesis of other nickel-containing materials.

Nickel(2+) diacetate is generally considered safe for laboratory use but can be toxic if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. It is important to handle it with gloves and protective eyewear. Storage in a cool, dry place away from heat and ignition sources is recommended. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Nickel(2+) diacetate should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperature. It should be kept away from direct sunlight, heat, and ignition sources. The container should be tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and ensure stability. Store it in a well-ventilated area and use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling.
