Nickel(II) carbonate describes one or a mixture of inorganic compounds containing nickel and carbonate. From the industrial perspective, an important nickel carbonate is basic nickel carbonate with the formula Ni 4 CO 3 (OH) 6 (H 2 O) 4. Simpler carbonates, ones more likely encountered in the laboratory, are NiCO 3 and its hexahydrate.
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.

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.
Nickel compounds catalyze the oligomerization of alkenes and alkynes. This property validated the research and development of Ziegler–Natta catalysts in the 1950s. That discovery shown by nickel impurities originating from an autoclave which killed the propagation reaction ( Aufbau ) in favor of termination reaction to a terminal alkene : the ...
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.
The compound can be prepared by treating nickel or nickel(II) carbonate with acetic acid: . NiCO 3 + 2 CH 3 CO 2 H + 3 H 2 O → Ni(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·4 H 2 O + CO 2. The mint-green tetrahydrate 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. [5]
The spike in food prices prevented many people from escaping poverty, because the poor spend a larger proportion of their income on food and farmers are net consumers of food. [109] High food prices cause consumers to have less purchasing power and to substitute more-nutritious foods with low-cost alternatives.
