    Cadmium chloride is a white crystalline compound of cadmium and chloride, with the formula CdCl2. This salt is a hygroscopic solid that is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. The crystal structure of cadmium chloride (described below), is a reference for describing other crystal structures. Also known are CdCl2•H2O and the hemipentahydrate CdCl2•2.5H2O.[2]

    Structure[edit]

    Anhydrous[edit]

    Anhydrous cadmium chloride forms a layered structure consisting of octahedral Cd2+ centers linked with chloride ligands. Cadmium iodide, CdI2, has a similar structure, but the iodide ions are arranged in a HCP lattice, whereas in CdCl2 the chloride ions are arranged in a CCP lattice.[8][9]

    Hydrates[edit]

    Subunit of CdCl2(H2O)2.5. Color code: red = O (of H2O), blue = Cd, green = Cl.

    The anhydrous form absorbs moisture from the air to form various hydrates. Three of these hydrates have been examined by X-ray crystallography.

    Chemical properties[edit]

    Cadmium chloride dissolves well in water and other polar solvents. It is a mild Lewis acid.[8]

    CdCl2 + 2 Cl → [CdCl4]2−

    Solutions of equimolar cadmium chloride and potassium chloride give potassium cadmium trichloride.[13] With large cations, it is possible to isolate the trigonal bipyramidal [CdCl5]3− ion.

    Cadmium metal is soluble in molten cadmium chloride, produced by heating cadmium chloride above 568 °C. Upon cooling, the metal precipitates.[14]

    Preparation[edit]

    Anhydrous cadmium chloride can be prepared by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and cadmium metal or cadmium oxide.[14]

    Cd + 2 HCl → CdCl2 + H2

    The anhydrous salt can also be prepared from anhydrous cadmium acetate using hydrogen chloride or acetyl chloride.[15]

    Industrially, it is produced by the reaction of molten cadmium and chlorine gas at 600 °C.[14]

    The monohydrate, hemipentahydrate, and tetrahydrate can be produced by evaporation of the solution of cadmium chloride at 35, 20, and 0 °C respectively. The hemipentahydrate and tetrahydrate release water in air.[10][11][12]

    Uses[edit]

    Cadmium chloride is used for the preparation of cadmium sulfide, used as "cadmium yellow", a brilliant-yellow stable inorganic pigment.[14]

    In the laboratory, anhydrous CdCl2 can be used for the preparation of organocadmium compounds of the type R2Cd, where R is an aryl or a primary alkyl. These were once used in the synthesis of ketones from acyl chlorides:[16]

    Such reagents have largely been supplanted by organocopper compounds, which are much less toxic.

    Cadmium chloride is also used for photocopying, dyeing and electroplating.

    Like all cadmium compounds, CdCl
    2
    is highly toxic and appropriate safety precautions must be taken when handling it.
