Nickel acetate, with the CAS number 373-02-4, is an inorganic compound that typically appears as a green crystalline solid. It is the acetate salt of nickel, characterized by its ability to form hydrates, with nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate being the most common form. This compound is soluble in water and exhibits hygroscopic properties, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. Nickel acetate is often used in various applications, including as a catalyst in organic synthesis, in electroplating processes, and in the production of nickel-based catalysts. It is also utilized in the preparation of nickel-containing compounds and as a precursor in the manufacture of nickel oxide. While nickel acetate has industrial uses, it is important to handle it with care, as nickel compounds can be toxic and may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.

Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate, 99%, extra pure

Nickel(II) acetate is a coordination compound that has potent inducers of carcinogenesis. It has been shown to bind with nucleophilic groups on proteins, such as the hydroxyl group on tyrosine residues, and the carbonyl group on serine residues. The nickel ion then coordinates to these groups by means of hydrogen bonds. This binding inhibits enzymes such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase, which are needed for cell division and protein synthesis. Nickel(II) acetate has been shown to accumulate in the ovary, which may be responsible for its carcinogenic activity.
