Dinickel boride is a chemical compound of nickel and boron with formula Ni
2B. [1] [2] It is one of the borides of nickel.

Contents

The formula "Ni
2B" and the name "nickel boride" are often used for a nickel-boron catalyst obtained by reacting nickel salts with sodium borohydride. However, that product is not a well-defined compound, and its bulk formula is closer to Na
2.5B(sic). [3]

Synthesis

Dinickel boride can be obtained (together with other nickel borides) by heating sodium borohydride with powdered nickel metal up to 670 °C in a closed vessel, so that the released hydrogen creates a pressure of up to 3.4 MPa. The main reactions can be summarized as

2NaBH
4 ↔ 2NaH + B
2H
6
2Ni + 2B
2H
6 + NaH ↔ Ni
2B + 3BH
3 + 2H
2 + Na

but other reactions occur, yielding other borides. [4]
