Nickel is one of the metals that can form Tutton's salts. The singly charged ion can be any of the full range of potassium, rubidium, cesium, ammonium (), or thallium. [1] As a mineral the ammonium nickel salt, (NH 4) 2 Ni(SO 4) 2 · 6 H 2 O, can be called nickelboussingaultite. [2]
The reagent used is ammonium sulfide or Na 2 S 0.1 M added to the ammonia/ammonium chloride solution used to detect group 3 cations. It includes: Zn 2+, Ni 2+, Co 2+, and Mn 2+. Zinc will form a white precipitate, nickel and cobalt a black precipitate and manganese a brick/flesh colored precipitate.
Nickel forms double salts with Tutton's salt structure with tetrafluoroberyllate with the range of cations of ammonia, [40] potassium, rubidium, cesium, [41] and thallium. [ 42 ] Anhydrous salts of the formula M 2 Ni 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , which can be termed metal nickel trisulfates, belong to the family of langbeinites .
A flame test involves introducing a sample of the element or compound to a hot, non-luminous flame and observing the color of the flame that results. [4] The compound can be made into a paste with concentrated hydrochloric acid, as metal halides , being volatile, give better results. [ 5 ]
However in other organic solvents, or molten salts the tetrachloronickelate ion can form. Nickel can be separated from such a solution in water or methanol, by partitioning it into a cyclohexane solution of amines. [2] Organic ammonium salts of the type (R 3 NH) 2 [NiCl 4] are often thermochromic (R = Me, Et, Pr). Near room temperature, these ...
An ammine ligand bound to a metal ion is markedly more acidic than a free ammonia molecule, although deprotonation in aqueous solution is still rare. One example is the reaction of mercury(II) chloride with ammonia (Calomel reaction) where the resulting mercuric amidochloride is highly insoluble. HgCl 2 + 2 NH 3 → HgCl(NH 2) + [NH 4]Cl
The nickel atom can be in a range of oxidation states from +2, +3 to +4. The hexafluoronickelate(IV) 2− ion NiF 6 2− contains nickel in the maximal +4 state, and is in octahedral coordination by the fluoride atoms. It forms a commercially available salt Potassium hexafluoronickelate(IV) K 2 NiF 6.
The nickel organic acid salts are organic acid salts of nickel. In many of these the ionised organic acid acts as a ligand. Nickel acetate has the formula (CH 3 COO) 2 Ni·4H 2 O. It has monodentate acetate and hydrogen bonding. A dihydrate also exists. Nickel acetate is used to seal anodised aluminium. [1]
