Here's your paper, my friend.

If you need some help with the translation from Romanian, just let me know, all right?

Now enjoy.

Thank you very much for the article. Your help in the translation will be very desirable. I am interested in the translation of these two procedures. Where took the authors the anhydrous nickel formate?

I also sent this to the other place. Hope it proves useful.

Dear OrganicChemist,

Somehow I missed your question on the availability of anhydrous nickel formate.

After a quick google search, I found that the dihydrate is commercially available, e.g. from Alfa Aesar. It can also be easily prepared, see among others this paper:

Arnáiz, Francisco J. "Microscale Preparation of Nickel Formate Dihydrate: A Simple Experiment for the Freshman Lab." Journal of Chemical Education 72, no. 10 (1995): A200

As for making the anhydrous salt, I found this free article, with some useful information:

Qusti, A. H., A. A. Samarkandy, S. Al-Thabaiti, and E. H. M. Diefallah. "The kinetics of thermal decomposition of nickel formate dihydrate in air." JKAU: Sci 9 (1997): 77-81

as well as a plethora of related paper titles.

I did all this at home, with really limited access to literature. I am certain, though, that a more thorough literature search will yield more relevant and useful results.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
