Nickel formate is the nickel salt of formic acid with the chemical formula Ni(HCOO)2.
Nickel formate can be obtained by reacting nickel(II) acetate or nickel(II) hydroxide[3] with formic acid.[5]
- Ni(OH)2 + 2HCOOH → Ni(HCOO)2 + 2 H2O
Nickel formate can also be synthesized by the reaction of sodium formate with nickel (II) sulphate.[3]
