It is a diamagnetic, volatile, relatively air-stable red liquid.
[2] It is prepared by treating nickelocene with nitric oxide.
The compound reacts with lithium aluminium hydride to give the paramagnetic cluster (C5H5)4Ni4H3.
[5] Cyclopentadienyl nickel nitrosyl was the subject of several patents as a fuel additive.
