Nickel dicyanide is the inorganic compound with a chemical formula Ni(CN)2. It is a gray-green solid that is insoluble in most solvents.[2]

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 tetrahydrate.[3] On heating the tetrahydrate to 140 °C, this hydrate converts to anhydrous nickel(II) cyanide.[2]

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][3]

Ni(CN)2 + 2 KCN → K2[Ni(CN)4]

Nickel(II) cyanide will react with dimethylglyoxime (dmgH2) and produce hydrogen cyanide:[4]

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