Overview
Tellanylidenenickel (CAS 12142-88-0) is an inorganic binary compound consisting of nickel and tellurium with notable semiconductor properties and significant health hazards. This intermetallic compound, with the molecular formula NiTe and a molecular weight of 186.3 g/mol, represents an important member of the transition metal tellurides family. Tellanylidenenickel exhibits unique electronic and magnetic properties that distinguish it from other nickel chalcogenides such as sulfanylidenenickel and selanylidenenickel, primarily due to tellurium's larger atomic radius and different electronegativity compared to sulfur and selenium. The compound carries severe health and environmental warnings, classified as a Category 1A carcinogen with specific target organ toxicity after repeated exposure (STOT RE 1). It also presents skin sensitization risks and poses acute and chronic aquatic toxicity concerns, requiring careful handling protocols and appropriate personal protective equipment. The GHS08, GHS07, and GHS09 pictograms on safety data sheets reflect these serious hazards, while its ADR Class 9 classification identifies it as a miscellaneous dangerous substance for transport purposes. In industrial applications, tellanylidenenickel finds use in specialized semiconductor devices where its unique band gap properties are advantageous. The compound is also employed in thermoelectric applications and certain catalytic processes where the synergistic properties of nickel and tellurium provide enhanced performance characteristics. Research applications include its use in advanced materials development and nanotechnology studies. OYSI maintains availability of tellanylidenenickel for qualified industrial and research customers, ensuring proper regulatory compliance and technical support for safe handling and application-specific requirements.
