Industrial Uses

1. Performance Chemicals

  • Precursor for Nickel Catalysts: Nickel fluoborate serves as a readily available source of nickel ions, which are then incorporated into more complex catalyst structures.
  • Cross-Coupling Reactions: It participates in cross-coupling reactions, which are fundamental in synthesizing new carbon-carbon bonds and building complex organic molecules.

2. Metal Treatment

  • Electrolyte: Nickel fluoroborate is used as a source of nickel ions in electroplating baths.
  • Surface Activation: Nickel fluoride, derived from nickel fluoroborate, acts as a surface activator, particularly for aluminum.
  • Improved Adhesion: It enhances the adhesion of the nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) coating to the substrate, such as anodized aluminum.
