The oxide obtained from the basic carbonate is often most useful for catalysis. Basic nickel carbonate can be made by treating solutions of nickel sulfate with sodium carbonate: 4 Ni 2+ + CO 2− 3 + 6 OH − + 4 H 2 O → Ni 4 CO 3 (OH) 6 (H 2 O) 4. The hydrated carbonate has been prepared by electrolytic oxidation of nickel in the presence of ...
Gaspéite presence in the geologic environment may be used as an ore mining indicator of nickel rich minerals nearby. Gaspéite stones are used for carving ornamental objects and animal figurines, and are also cut and polished into attractive apple green color (often veined) cabochons for jewelry use.

Zaratite is a bright emerald green nickel carbonate mineral with formula Ni 3 CO 3 (OH) 4 ·4H 2 O. Zaratite crystallizes in the isometric crystal system as massive to mammillary encrustations and vein fillings. It has a specific gravity of 2.6 and a Mohs hardness of 3 to 3.5.
Nickel hydroxides are used in nickel–cadmium and Nickel–metal hydride batteries. Nickel(II) hydroxide Ni(OH) 2, the main hydroxide of nickel is coloured apple green. It is known as the mineral theophrastite. β-NiO(OH) is a black powder with nickel in the +3 oxidation state.
Hellyerite, NiCO 3 ·6(H 2 O), is an hydrated nickel carbonate mineral. It is light blue to bright green in colour, has a hardness of 2.5, a vitreous luster, a white streak and crystallises in the monoclinic system. The crystal habit is as platy and mammillary encrustations on its matrix. It is a pentahydrate according to X-ray crystallography.
A palladium (0) species is generally utilized as the catalyst, though nickel is sometimes used. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A variety of nickel catalysts in either Ni 0 or Ni II oxidation state can be employed in Negishi cross couplings such as Ni(PPh 3 ) 4 , Ni(acac) 2 , Ni(COD) 2 etc. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]
Nickel acetate exists as an intermediate and the final result is that solid nickel, nickel oxide, Ni 3 C and carbon remain. [9] With malonate nickel can form a bis-malonato-nickelate anion, which can form double salts. [10] Nickel maleate can be made from maleic acid and nickel carbonate in boiling water.
Aqueous solutions of nickel sulfate react with sodium carbonate to precipitate nickel carbonate, a precursor to nickel-based catalysts and pigments. [6] Addition of ammonium sulfate to concentrated aqueous solutions of nickel sulfate precipitates Ni(NH 4) 2 (SO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O. This blue-coloured solid is analogous to Mohr's salt, Fe(NH 4) 2 (SO ...
