Preparation of Hexakis(acetylacetonato) Trinickel(II) Dihydrate aka Nickel Acetylacetonate

In this video I make the acetylacetonate of nickel(II) using nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate, 2,4-pentanedione (acetylacetone), and sodium hydroxide. I had a few problems with this prep but in the end everything worked out fine. This prep is really easy to do and would be a good one for an amateur chemist who was just getting into tinkering with transition metal complexes.
