Nickel [7440-02-0] Ni, recognized as an element as early as 1754 (1), was not isolated until 1820 (2). It was mined from arsenic sulfide mineral deposits (3) and first used in an alloy called German Silver (4). Soon after, nickel was used as an anode in solutions of nickel sulfate [7786-81 A] NiSO, and nickel chloride [7718-54-9] NiCl, to electroplate jewelry. Nickel carbonyl [13463-39-3] Ni(C02)4, was discovered in 1890 (see Carbonyls). This material, distilled as a hquid, decomposes into carbon monoxide and pure nickel powder, a method used in nickel refining (5) (see Nickel and nickel alloys). 

When nickel hydroxide is oxidized at the nickel electrode in alkaline storage batteries the black trivalent gelatinous nickel hydroxide oxide [12026-04-9], Ni(0H)0, is formed. In nickel battery technology, nickel hydroxide oxide is known as the nickel active mass (see Batteries, secondary cells). Nickel hydroxide nitrate [56171-41-6], Ni(0H)N02, and nickel chloride hydroxide [25965-88-2], NiCl(OH), are frequently mentioned as intermediates for the production of nickel powder in aqueous solution. The binding energies for these compounds have been studied (55). 

CT is kept low in sulfamate, concentrations mn from zero to about 3 g/L as CL NiCl 6H20, MgCl2 6H20, and KCl have been used. 

Dimesitylimidazolium chloride with nickelocene gives the carbene complex [(T) -Cp)NiCl(L)] (L= l,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene), in which the chloride ligand can be substituted by a methyl group by reacting the product with methyl-lithium (OOJOM(596)3). 

The 1,2-azaphosphole i7 (P)-coordinated complexes 83 and 84 follow from the corresponding ligand and [(i -allyl)NiCl]2 and [(1,5,9-cyclododecatriene)Ni], respectively (98ICA(270)273).
