Production

Reacting potassium cyanide and salts containing nickel(II) ions in aqueous solution can precipitate nickel(II) cyanide tetrahydrate. On heating the tetrahydrate to 140°C, it can produce dry (anhydrous) nickel(II) cyanide.[1]

Chemical properties

K2[Ni(CN)4] (a tetracyanonickelate) solution

Nickel(II) cyanide dissolves in potassium cyanide solution to produce a yellowish solution:

Ni(CN)2 + 2 KCN → K2[Ni(CN)4]

Nickel(II) cyanide will react with dimethylglyoxime and produce hydrogen cyanide:[2]

Ni(CN)2 + 2 C4H8O2N2 → Ni(C4H7O2N2) + 2 HCN
