Infobox references

Nickel(II) titanate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NiTiO3. It is a coordination compound between nickel(II), titanium(IV) and oxide ions. It has the appearance of a yellow powder.

Structure

Nickel(II) titanate crystallizes at 600 °C[2] and is stable at room temperature and normal pressure in an ilmenite structure with rhombohedral R3 symmetry.[3] It consists of alternating layers of Ni and Ti along the rhombohedral axis with O layers between them.[2]

Another description of nickel(II) titanite's illemite structure consists of a pseudo close packed hexagonal array of O2− ions with two thirds occupied by an ordered hexagonal like cation.[4] The average crystallite's size was estimated at 42 nm with lattice constants of a = 5.032 Å, b = 5.032 Å, c = 4.753 Å.[4]

Preparation

Nickel(II) titanate can be prepared by the autocombustion of a mixture of titanium isopropoxide, nickel(II) nitrate (oxidizer), and alanine (fuel) in isopropyl alcohol solution.[2] The resulting dark green product is then calcined.[2]

Another method involves heating NiO and TiO2 at 1350 °C for three hours.[5]

NiO + TiO2 → NiTiO3

NiTiO3 residue is formed in the thermal decomposition of the heterobimetallic complex Ni2Ti2(OEt)2(μ-OEt)6(2,4-pentanedionate)4.[4]

Applications

Nickel(II) titanate is used as a yellow pigment.[6] It has been used as a catalyst for toluene oxidation.[2]

It is of research interest as an electronic material due to its high dielectric constant (40), weak magnetism, and semiconductivity.[7] It has received attention as a possible candidate for multiferroic materials capable of magnetization through the application of an electric field.[8]
