Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+)

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) is an organometallic nickel compound with the molecular formula C20H34NiO4 and CAS number 3906-55-6. This nickel salt consists of a nickel(2+) ion coordinated with two 4-cyclohexylbutanoate ligands, resulting in a molecular weight of 397.2 g/mol. It belongs to the class of nickel carboxylates and is classified as extremely hazardous due to its carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxicity properties.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) is a solid organometallic compound with a molecular weight of 397.2 g/mol and molecular formula C20H34NiO4. As a nickel carboxylate, it typically appears as a colored solid, likely green or blue-green, characteristic of nickel(II) compounds. The presence of long alkyl chains with cyclohexyl groups suggests limited water solubility but potential solubility in organic solvents. Specific physical properties require consultation of detailed technical data sheets.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) is primarily used as a catalyst in industrial chemical processes, particularly in polymerization reactions and organic synthesis. Its applications include catalyzing polymerization of olefins, cross-linking reactions in polymer chemistry, and as a precursor for nickel-containing materials. Due to its severe health hazards, its use is restricted to specialized industrial applications with strict safety controls and is typically employed only by experienced professionals in controlled environments.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) must be handled with extreme caution due to its carcinogenic, mutagenic, and sensitizing properties. Essential protective equipment includes nitrile gloves, full-face respirator with appropriate filters, protective clothing, and eye protection. Work must be conducted in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods to prevent inhalation. Avoid skin contact and ingestion completely. Regular health monitoring is required for workers exposed to this substance due to its severe toxicological profile.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) must be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed and labeled according to GHS requirements with appropriate hazard pictogrammes (GHS08, GHS09). Storage areas should be restricted to authorized personnel only due to the substance's carcinogenic properties. Implement secondary containment measures to prevent environmental release and ensure compliance with local dangerous goods storage regulations.

In case of skin contact with bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+), immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. For eye contact, flush immediately with clean water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. If inhaled, move the person to fresh air immediately. Seek immediate medical attention in all cases of exposure, informing medical personnel about the substance's carcinogenic and sensitizing properties. Do not induce vomiting if ingested.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) must be disposed of as hazardous waste through licensed waste management facilities specialized in heavy metal and carcinogenic substance disposal. Never dispose of this substance in regular waste streams, sewers, or soil due to its severe environmental and health hazards. Consult local environmental authorities for specific disposal requirements. Empty containers must also be treated as hazardous waste. Documentation of disposal is required for regulatory compliance and traceability.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) is classified as ADR Class 9 (Miscellaneous dangerous goods), Packing Group III for transportation purposes. It must be packaged in UN-approved containers with appropriate hazard labels and documentation. Transport vehicles must carry emergency response information and drivers require ADR certification. Due to its environmental hazards, special precautions are needed to prevent spillage during transport. All transport must comply with international dangerous goods regulations and local transportation authorities' requirements.

Bis(4-cyclohexylbutanoate);nickel(2+) is subject to strict regulations under REACH and CLP regulations due to its classification as carcinogenic (Category 1A), mutagenic (Category 2), and toxic for reproduction (Category 1B). Although not currently listed as an SVHC, its severe hazard profile requires comprehensive risk assessment and safety data sheets. Users must implement strict exposure control measures and may require authorization for certain uses. National occupational exposure limits and environmental discharge restrictions apply.
