I don't think so. Ni(CO)4 is produced by passing CO gas over powdered Ni, not from solutions of nickel ions. And urea is quite a polar molecule; the carbonyl portion isn't going to easily fly off as a carbon monoxide molecule.

Where did you read this...?? I have this not written.

But...I had that could write. Because of its correctly!

False!

Generally there are different methods getting carbonyles in addition of that gas - metal-powder - reaction. For example:
~ CO under high pressure on Me-sulfides or Me-chlorides (Hieber-Method) (known carbonyles from minimal 12 metals.)
~ Cr(CO)6 Effect of CO at a etheric solution of CrCl3 under presence of Grignard-compounds
~ [Mn(CO)5]2 CO under pressure at activatet MnI2 in ether, catalysed by Mg
~ Ni(CO)5 already from shaking an alcalic suspension of fresh NiS2 with CO-gas

Get knowledge from chemistry books before contradict so strictly!

You are correct, I did insufficient homework, you can use nickel ions. :( I still don't think you'll be able to use urea as a carbonyl source. :)

See <A HREF="http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=1128">this thread</A>. The use of nickel and urea for producing hydrazine has been patented, but the nickel is supposed to act catalytically, its carbonyl decomposing to again yield metallic nickel and CO.

What is the correct term for salts of nitrourea? Ive been using "nitrocarbamate" but now im not entirely sure??

I'd just say "nitrourate".

Thats a old one but hey!

Polyethlene is a nice reducing agent. isn´t it`?

Melts better into the brew then charcoal.

urea


What real uses has urea , besides a good way of neutralizing NOx vapors?
I used UTFSE , but only came across organic synthesis and preparation of potassium/sodium cyanate (this one needs temperatures around 250C, wich is no options as I only have a spiritus burner (altho I will get a propane/butane one later on))
I do not have a fumehood.


Edit by Chemoleo: You didn't search well enough. Merged with urea exploration thread.

You might start your research here ..........

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

.....then move on with some of the references given to get a deeper view of the compound.

your Alcohol burner Should be quite capable of well over 3x this heat (250c). ;)

I have the same situation going right now. I don't know what to do with all of this urea.
