NICKEL(II) PERCHLORATE HEXAHYDRATE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

green crystal(s); hygroscopic [STR93]

Uses

Nickel(II) perchlorate hexahydrate is used as a starting material for homometallic, trinuclear heteroscorpionate complexes applied in studies of electronic and magnetic properties.

Uses

Nickel(II) perchlorate hexahydrate may be used in the synthesis of tris(2,2′-bipyridylamine)nickel(II) perchlorate and 4,7,7-trimethyl-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydrobenzopyran-2(H),5-dione.

General Description

Nickel(II) perchlorate hexahydrate is a hydrated nickel(II) salt.

Safety Profile

Confirmed human carcinogen. Poison by intraperitoneal route. A powerful oxidizer. Mixtures with 2,2- dimethoxypropane explode when heated above 65°C. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also NICKEL COMPOUNDS and PERCHLORATES.
