Nickel(II) acetate (Ni(CH3COO)2)is an inorganic compound of nickel and acetic acid. This inorganic compound is usually found as the tetrahydrate. It is used for electroplating.It can be made by reacting nickel or nickel(II) carbonate with acetic acid.Ni + 2 CH3COOH → C4H6NiO4 + H2NiCO3 + 2 CH3COOH → C4H6NiO4 + CO2 + H2OThe green tetrahydrate has been determined by X-ray crystallography to be octahedral about the central nickel atom coordinated by four water molecules and two acetate fragments.
