Cadmium chloride, reaction

Ultimately, as the stabilization reactions continue, the metallic salts or soaps are depleted and the by-product metal chlorides result. These metal chlorides are potential Lewis acid catalysts and can greatiy accelerate the undesired dehydrochlorination of PVC. Both zinc chloride and cadmium chloride are particularly strong Lewis acids compared to the weakly acidic organotin chlorides and lead chlorides. This significant complication is effectively dealt with in commercial practice by the co-addition of alkaline-earth soaps or salts, such as calcium stearate or barium stearate, ie, by the use of mixed metal stabilizers. 

The synthetic approach is very simple and does not require any special set up. In a typical room temperature reaction, 1.0 mL aqueous solution of cadmium chloride was added to 20 mL aqueous solution of soluble starch in a 50 mL one-necked round-bottom flask with constant stirring at room temperature. The pH of the solution was adjusted from 6 to 11 using 0.1 M ammonia solution. This was followed by a slow addition of 1.0 mL colourless selenide ion stock solution. The mixture was further stirred for 2 h and aged for 18 h. The resultant solution was filtered and extracted with acetone to obtain a red precipitate of CdSe nanoaprticles. The precipitate was washed several times and dried at room temperature to give a material which readily dispersed in water. The same procedure was repeated for the synthesis of PVA and PVP - capped CdSe nanoparticles by replacing the starch solution with the PVA and PVP polymers while the synthesis of elongated nanoparticles was achieved by changing the Cd Se precursor ratio from 1 1 to 1 2. The synthesis of polymer capped ZnSe nanoparticles also follows the same procedure except that ZnCb solution was used instead of CdCb solution. 

Unusual arene-cadmium 7r-complexes have been recently prepared and structurally characterized. For example, the /w /zz-bcn/i porphyrin complex 194, which can be obtained by reaction of the free base with CdCl2, possesses a cadmium atom that is bound to the Mfez-phcnylcnc unit of the ligand in an apparent /-fashion (Figure 32). The resulting Cd-C distance of 2.71 A is shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii.252 Despite this relatively short contact, DFT calculations and AIM analysis point to the weakness of the interaction. Comparable weak arene-cadmium 7r-interactions are also observed in the /wra-benziporphyrin cadmium chloride complex 195.253... 

These materials, generally prepared from the corresponding Grignard reagents by the addition of cadmium chloride, provide a milder reagent system than the Grignard that allows selectivity in reaction with phosphorus trichloride (Equation 4.21).34-43-63... 

Di-n-butylcadmium was prepared by the rapid addition of cadmium chloride (50.4 g, 0.275 mol) to a cooled solution of n-butylmagnesium bromide formed from magnesium (12.15 g, 0.50 mol) and n-butyl bromide (75.4 g, 0.55 mol) in anhydrous diethyl ether (550 ml). Following the addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at 0°C for 2 h. The di-n-butylcadmium reaction mixture, including the precipitate, was then added to a stirred solution of phosphorus trichloride (85.9 g,... 

Reactions with mineral acids produce their cadmium salts. With hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid, the products are cadmium chloride, cadmium sulfate and cadmium nitrate, respectively ... 

Cadmium sulfide may be prepared by precipitation from an aqueous solution of its soluble salts such as cadmium chloride or cadmium nitrate by passing hydrogen sulfide. The reactions may he carried out in acidic, neutral or alkaline solutions using various cadmium salts to obtain different crystal modifications as shown in the table below. 

Cadmium chromium(III) selenide can be prepared by the direct combination of the elements or by the reaction of cadmium selenide with chromium(III) selenide. Crystals of cadmium chro-mium(III) selenide have been prepared by flux growth1 in cadmium chloride, by vapor transport,2 and by a liquid-transport method3 with a platinum metal catalyst. The synthesis given... 

Grignard reagents derived from aryl bromides are readily prepared and may be converted into organocadmium compounds by treatment with cadmium chloride (cf. Section 5.8.4, p. 616). Reaction of an organocadmium with a carboxylic acid chloride constitutes a convenient synthesis of aryl alkyl ketones. 

Amorphous products were obtained in the reaction between alkali metal borates and cadmium chloride, analyzed as the 2 3 7 compound (337). More recently, a patent claiming the formation of 6CdO 7B203 (3-3.8)H20 has appeared (264). 

Wear nitrile rubber gloves, eye protection, and laboratory coat. Work in the fume hood. Dissolve the soluble cadmium salt (0.05 mol, e.g., 9 g of cadmium chloride) in water (50 mL) and add solution of sodium metasilicate (Na2Si03-5H20, 25 g, 0.12 mol) in water (200 mL). A white precipitate of cadmium silicate forms immediately. Heat the mixture to 80°C for 15 minutes to complete the reaction. Cool and adjust to pH 11 with 2 M sulfuric acid. Collect the precipitate by filtration or allow the supernatant liquid to... 

For example, a cadmium anode in sodium chloride solution yields cadmium chloride by the reaction of the discharged chlorine with the metal, whilst the hydrogen liberated at the cathode reacts with the copper sulphide to form hydrogen sulphide, H2 + CujS = 2Cu + H2S, and the gas precipitates cadmium sulphide. 

Explain the selectivity obtained in step f and give reasons for the use of cadmium chloride in the condensation reaction.
