Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate is a green crystalline inorganic salt used as a nickel source in electroplating, catalysts, and chemical synthesis, particularly for nickel-based coatings and organic transformations. It also serves as a mordant in textile dyeing, as a sealant for anodized aluminum, and as a starting material for preparing other nickel compounds. It has a CAS number of 6018-89-9, molecular formula Ni(C2H3O2)2·4H2O, and a molecular weight of 248.84 g/mol (176.78 g/mol on an anhydrous basis). Store at ambient conditions, but handle with caution—it carries a Danger signal word due to toxicity. Molekula supplies Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
