CAS NO.: 6018-89-9
EC/LIST NO.: 206-761-7

Nickel Acetate is the name for the coordination compounds with the formula Ni(CH3CO2)2·x H2O where x can be 0, 2, and 4.
The green tetrahydrate Ni(CH3CO2)2·4 H2O is most common.
Nickel Acetate is used for electroplating.

Nickel Acetate is a greenish, crystalline inorganic compound that produces toxic gases upon heating.
Nickel acetate is used in textile dyeing processes, in electroplating, and as a catalyst intermediate.
Exposure to this substance can cause severe dermatitis, skin and asthma-like allergies and causes damage to the lungs, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract and neurological system.
Nickel acetate is a known carcinogen and is associated with an increased risk of developing lung and nasal cancers. (NCI05)

Nickel Acetate Anhydrous is a moderately water soluble crystalline Nickel source that decomposes to Nickel oxide on heating.
Nickel Acetate is generally immediately available in most volumes.
We also manufacture nickel acetate tetrahydrate.
All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing a metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two oxygen atoms (Symbol: CH3COO) for a total formula weight of 59.05.
Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds, catalysts, and nanoscale materials. We also produce Nickel Acetate Solution.
American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards.
Typical and custom packaging is available.
Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Nickel acetate tetrahydrate is used in electroplating.
Nickel Acetate is also used in the preparation of polynuclear-nickel polyoxotungstate cluster compounds, which are used in designing molecular magnets.
Further, it is used as a catalyst and mordant for dyeing textiles, as a sealant for anodized aluminum and to make other nickel compounds.

nickel acetate is a fine, water-soluble green powder.
The Nickel Acetate content is 23% minimum.

nickel acetate is used in surface treatment, especially for anodizing aluminium.
But also as a catalyst in chemical processes.

Nickel acetate is a moderately water-soluble chemical compound with a chemical formula Ni(CH3CO2)2.
Nickel Acetate can be obtained by treating nickel carbonate with acetic acid.
The nickel acetate crystals have been seen to adopt an octahedral structure with nickel at the centre coordinated by four water molecule and two acetate ligands.

The Nickel Acetate is a green crystalline solid; sweet taste; odor of acetic acid; density 1.744 g/cm3; loses water on heating to form a yellow-green powder of anhydrous nickel acetate; decomposes above 250°C; soluble in water, 17g/100mL at 20°C; sparingly soluble in alcohol.,

Nickel Acetate Tetrahydrate is used in precise plating, surface treatment of Aluminum profile and ceramic glazing.
Nickel Acetate has been utilized in the synthesis of polynuclear-nickel polyoxotungstate cluster compounds that are ideal for the design of molecular magnets.

Nickel Acetate (CAS #: 373-02-4: anhydrous; 6018-89-9: tetrahydrate), Efflorescent green crystals; decompose on heating; soluble in water and alcohol; used in plating processes, anodize coatings and as textile dyeing mordant.
Green powder : soluble in acids and ammonium hydroxide; insoluble in water; used in plating processes, anodize coatings and as textile dyeing mordant.
Also used in ceramic glazes, in glass manufacture, in the preparation of alloys, in the Edison battery in nickel salts make and for porcelain paints. Also known as green nickel oxide.

The compound can be prepared by treating nickel or nickel(II) carbonate with acetic acid:

NiCO3 + 2 CH3CO2H + 3 H2O → Ni(CH3CO2)2·4 H2O + CO2

The green Nickel Acetate has been shown by X-ray crystallography to adopt an octahedral structure, the central nickel centre being coordinated by four water molecules and two acetate ligands.
Nickel Acetate may be dehydrated in vacuo, by reaction with acetic anhydride or by heat.

Nickel acetate is an inorganic compound of nickel and acetic acid usually found as a tetrahydrated form.
Nickel Acetate is mainly used in the aluminium anodization industry and as a catalyst in different chemical processes.

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

High purity Nickel Acetate is used widely to seal anodic coatings on aluminum.
The sealing process consists of immersing the anodized aluminum in a boiling nickel acetate solution.
When sealing with nickel acetate alone, a smutty deposit will form on the work.
This can be prevented by the addition of a wetting agent such as Specialty Dispersant.
Nickel acetate is suitable for sealing dyed or clear anodized aluminum.
Nickel acetate offers the advantage of increased weather and light fastness on coatings dyed with organic dyes.
