Product Overview
Nickel(II) oxalate hydrate, Puratronic™ grade, delivers ultra-high purity at 99.9985% (metals basis), making it a critical reagent for demanding laboratory applications. This crystalline solid is synthesized under stringent conditions to minimize trace metal impurities, ensuring consistent performance in sensitive reactions. Its stable oxalate structure provides controlled solubility, facilitating precise stoichiometric reactions in aqueous and organic media. The hydrate form enhances handling safety while maintaining reactivity for applications requiring nickel ion release. Commonly employed as a precursor for nickel-based catalysts, thin films, and electroplating solutions, this material meets the exacting standards of advanced materials research. The Puratronic™ certification guarantees lot-to-lot consistency, with comprehensive elemental analysis provided for each batch. Its low moisture content and particle size distribution are optimized for uniform dispersion in various matrices. The product is packaged under inert conditions to prevent oxidation, with pack sizes available to accommodate both small-scale experiments and pilot production needs.
FAQs
1. What is the typical particle size range of this Nickel(II) oxalate hydrate?
The material typically presents as fine crystalline powder with particle sizes predominantly in the 1-10 micron range, though exact distribution may vary slightly between production lots.
2. Can this product be used directly for electrochemical deposition?
While chemically suitable, the material may require additional processing like dissolution in appropriate electrolytes or pH adjustment to optimize deposition parameters for specific electrochemical applications.
3. What are the main impurities present in this grade?
At 99.9985% purity, residual impurities are typically limited to parts-per-million levels of other transition metals (Fe, Co, Cu) and alkaline earth elements, with exact composition detailed in the certificate of analysis.
4. How should this material be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in the original sealed container under cool, dry conditions away from direct light and oxidizing agents; desiccant packs are recommended if containers are opened frequently.
5. Is this product compatible with standard organic solvents?
The oxalate salt exhibits limited solubility in most organic solvents but can be dissolved in polar aprotic solvents like DMSO or DMF with gentle heating for specialized applications.
