Uses
Purification intermediate in refining nickel; catalyst in the petroleum, plastic, and rubber industries Nickel carbonyl is used in nickel vapoplating processes in
the metallurgical and electronics industry, and in the catalytic
methyl- and ethylacrylate monomer synthesis. For many
years it had been used to produce pure nickel by the
Mond process, which has been considered to be outdated
since around 1970. Nickel tetracarbonyl is used in the manufactureof nickel powder and nickel-coatedmetals, and as a catalyst in carboxylation,coupling, and cyclization reactions. It canform from the contact of carbon monoxidewith nickel. In organic synthesis; production of high-purity nickel powder and continuous nickel coatings on steel and other metals.

Description
Nickel carbonyl is a clear colourless to yellow volatile liquid, is flammable, and burns with
a yellow flame. It is denser than water and insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol, benzene,
chloroform, acetone, ethanol, carbon tetrachloride, and nitric acid. The vapours are
heavier than air. In industries, nickel carbonyl is used in nickel coat steel and other metals
and to make very pure nickel. Nickel carbonyl gets peroxidised by air as a solid deposit
and decomposes to ignite.
