NiNO32xH2O
Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate, commonly represented as Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, is an inorganic compound consisting of nickel in its +2 oxidation state, nitrate anions, and water molecules. This salt forms as a green crystalline solid, often encountered in hydrated form due to its tendency to retain water molecules. It is soluble in water, ethanol, and glycerol, making it useful in various chemical applications.
Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O is typically prepared by neutralizing nickel oxide or nickel hydroxide with nitric acid, followed by
The compound serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other nickel compounds, including nickel oxides, nickel
Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O exhibits coordination chemistry properties, forming complexes with ligands such as ammonia, ethylenediamine, and organic molecules.
