Preparation of metallic nickel

Our method overcomes these difficulties, and the yields are in general compatible with those reported. Furthermore, the preparation of metallic nickel and the following reaction involves a very simple one-pot procedure, and the reaction conditions employed are compatible with a variety of substituents including halogen, cyano, and alkoxycarbonyl groups.

In the early work on the thermolysis of metal complexes for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, the precursor carbonyl complex of transition metals, e.g., Co2(CO)8, in organic solvent functions as a metal source of nanoparticles and thermally decomposes in the presence of various polymers to afford polymer-protected metal nanoparticles under relatively mild conditions [1-3]. Particle sizes depend on the kind of polymers, ranging from 5 to >100 nm. The particle size distribution sometimes became wide. Other cobalt, iron [4], nickel [5], rhodium, iridium, rutheniuim, osmium, palladium, and platinum nanoparticles stabilized by polymers have been prepared by similar thermolysis procedures. Besides carbonyl complexes, palladium acetate, palladium acetylacetonate, and platinum acetylac-etonate were also used as a precursor complex in organic solvents like methyl-wo-butylketone [6-9]. These results proposed facile preparative method of metal nanoparticles. However, it may be considered that the size-regulated preparation of metal nanoparticles by thermolysis procedure should be conducted under the limited condition. 

The dithiophosphonic acid monoesters, RP(OR )(S)SH can be conveniently prepared by cleavage of dimeric, cyclic diphosphetane disulfides, [RP(S)S]2 with alcohols, silanols, or trialkylsilylalcohols180 and then can be converted into metal complexes M[SPR(OR )]2 without isolation.181 The substituted ferrocenyl anion, (N3C6H4CH20)(CpFeC5H4)PS2 has been prepared in two steps from P4Sio, ferrocene and hydroxymethylbenzotriazole (and its salt was used for the preparation of some nickel and rhodium complexes).182 Zwitter-ionic ferrocenylditiophosphonates,... 

For preparation of alloys nickel by cleanliness of 99.99 %, magnesium by cleanliness of 99.95 %, lanthanum by cleanliness of 99.79 %, and mishmetall (industrial mixture of rare-earth metals (REM) Ce - 50, La - 27, Nd - 16, Pr - 5, others REM - 2wt. %) were used. The melting of metal charge was carried out in the vacuum-induction furnace under fluxing agent from eutectic melt LiCl-KCl. The composition of alloys was supervised by the chemical analysis and the X-ray testing. 

In 1925 Murray Raney (la) was granted a patent covering a new method of preparation of a nickel catalyst. A pulverized nickel-silicon alloy was reacted with aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce a pyrophoric, brownish nickel residue with superior catalytic properties. Upon investigation of other alloys of nickel and alkali-soluble metals, it was found that the aluminum alloy could be made with ease (lb) and was easily pulverized. The catalyst which is prepared by the action of aqueous sodium hydroxide on this nickel-aluminum alloy is known as... 

The dideoxybiladiene-ac approach to corroles was also applied to the preparation of metallocorroles. The first report of this sort of reaction appeared in 1964. It described the preparation of the nickel(II) corrole 2.105 from the corresponding metal(II) dideoxybiladiene-ac 2.103 (Scheme 2.1.23). Interestingly, this approach did not work in the case of zinc(II) dideoxybiladiene-ac (2.104). This latter result was rationalized in terms of the known coordination chemistry of Zn(II). In particular, it was postulated that the presumed tetrahedral coordination of the zinc(II) center served to lock the reactive termini of the biladiene into positions that were unsuited for cyclization. 

A solution of appropriate salts can also be reduced in the liquid phase by the addition of an appropriate reducing agent. Sodium borohydride has been used but care must be taken to remove the boron from the catalyst, particularly for the mixed noble metals. This has been accomplished by adding a dilute borohydride solution to the mixed metal salt solution under rapid agitation followed by a thorough washing of the precipitated metal black with warm water.The use of hydrazine, formaldehyde or formic acid is preferred to borohydride since the byproducts of the reduction do not contaminate the catalyst. Another procedure is to use a ternary alloy and to leach out one component as in the preparation of Raney nickel and similar catalysts. 

The stoichiometric compositions of pure and doped nickel oxides were determined by chemical analysis (30). As presented in Section II, the difference 2[Ni3+] — [Ni ) is evaluated and results are expressed in at.% Oexc if the difference is positive or in at.% Niexc if the difference is negative. Chemical analyses (30) and magnetic measurements (33) have shown that pure nickel oxide prepared under vacuum at 250° contains a small excess of metallic nickel (Table X). The surprising result is that oxides containing up to 4 at.% Li (total) or 1.5 at.% Li (actually dissolved) present a stoichiometric composition which is similar to that of pure NiO(250°) (Table X). Nickel oxide containing 9.5 at.% Li (total) presents an excess of oxygen (0.052 at.% Oexc) which is small, however, compared to the amount of lithium ions actually incorporated in the lattice (1.95 at.% Li) (Table X). 

In the course of these investigations, an experiment was carried out to prepare hexyl and octyl derivatives of aluminum by reaction of triethylaluminum with ethylene. Instead of the anticipated aluminum alkyls, an almost quantitative yield of 1-butene was obtained. After a strenuous investigation, Ziegler and his coworkers found that an extremely small trace of metallic nickel caused this change in the course of the reaction. The nickel, present from a previous hydrogenation experiment, catalyzed the displacement reaction (Reaction 2) of 1-butene from butylaluminum (Reaction 3),... 

But with metals of higher oxidisability, in particular with aluminium, the atomic ratio percentage is much lower that the initial salt ratio. One could assume that aluminium is leached out by the alcoholate ion which results from the large excess of sodium naphthalene i.e the alcoholate ion would act in a way similar to that of the hydroxide ion in the preparation of Raney nickel. The very high value measured for the nickel surface area might support this assumption.
