Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Nickel(II) cyanide is the inorganic compound with a chemical formula Ni(CN)2. The trihydrate is a gray-green solid that is insoluble in most solvents including water, while the anhydrous form is a yellow solid.[2][3]

Production

[edit]

Addition of two equivalents of sodium or potassium cyanide to a solution of nickel(II) ions in aqueous solution leads to the precipitation of nickel(II) cyanide trihydrate.[4] On heating the trihydrate to 140 °C, this hydrate converts to anhydrous nickel(II) cyanide.[2][3]

Chemical properties

[edit]
K2[Ni(CN)4] (tetracyanonickelate) solution)

Nickel(II) cyanide dissolves in potassium cyanide solution to produce a yellowish solution containing potassium tetracyanonickelate:[2][4]

Ni(CN)2 + 2 KCN → K2[Ni(CN)4]

Nickel(II) cyanide will react with dimethylglyoxime (dmgH2) and produce hydrogen cyanide:[5]

Ni(CN)2 + 2 dmgH2 → Ni(dmgH)2 + 2 HCN
