Nickel nitrate is the inorganic compound Ni(NO3)2 or any hydrate thereof. The anhydrous form is not commonly encountered, thus 'nickel nitrate' usually refers to nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate. The formula for this species is written in two ways: Ni(NO3)2.6H2O and, more descriptively [Ni(H2O)6](NO3)2. The latter formula indicates that the nickel(II) center is surrounded by six water molecules in this hydrated salt. In the hexahydrate, the nitrate anions are not bonded to nickel. Also known are three other hydrates: Ni(NO3)2.9H2O, Ni(NO3)2.4H2O, and Ni(NO3)2.2H2O. Anhydrous Ni(NO3)2 is also known.[2]

Color of Transition Metal Complexes The variety of color among transition metal complexes has long fascinated the chemists. For example, aqueous solutions of Fe(H 2O) 6. Ni(H 2O) 6 2+ turns blue when ammonia is added to give Ni(NH 3)6 2+. Many of these facts can be rationalized from CFT.
It is prepared by the reaction of nickel oxide with nitric acid:
- NiO + 2 HNO3 + 5 H2O → Ni(NO3)2.6H2O

The anhydrous nickel nitrate is typically not prepared by the heating the hydrates. Rather is generated by reaction of hydrates with dinitrogen pentoxide or of nickel carbonyl with dinitrogen tetroxide:[2]

- Ni(CO)4 + 2 N2O4 → Ni(NO3)2 + 2 NO + 4 CO

The hydrated nitrate is often used as a precursor to supported nickel catalysts.
Safety[edit]
Like other nitrates, nickel nitrate is oxidizing. It is also irritating to the eyes, skin and, upon inhalation of the dust, respiratory tract. It may cause skin allergy. Nickel nitrate is a carcinogen, along with most other nickel compounds. The nickel ion is also toxic to aquatic organisms.
Uses[edit]
Nickel(II) nitrate is used as the precursor for the explosive Nickel Hydrazine Nitrate, which is used as lead-free and safer alternative to Lead Azide and Lead Styphnate.
