PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Nickel iodide is an iodide of nickel. It is used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis. Nickel is a chemical compound with the atomic number 28. It is found abundantly in nature in laterite ore minerals, such as limonite, garnierite, and pentlandite. Nickel has a biological role and is found in certain enzymes, including urease, hydrogenase, methylcoenzyme M reductase, and carbon monoxide dehydrogenase. (L40, L41, L45)
