Cadmium dichloride

General caution and safety. The metal alkyls trimethylaluminum, trimethylgallium, trimethylindium, triethylindium, dimethylzinc, and diethyl-zinc all spontaneously inflame in air (pyrophoric) and are violently reactive toward water and carbon dioxide. Dimethylcadmium fumes upon exposure to air but does not inflame, and decomposes, sluggishly, in water. As with cadmium dichloride, and in common with all cadmium compounds, dimethylcadmium is extremely toxic. A dry powder extinguisher, sand bucket, and fire blanket should be at hand at all times. 

Caution. Dimethylcadmium is not pyrophoric but, as is the case with cadmium dichloride, it is highly toxic. Methyliodide is highly toxic. Methyl-lithium is potentially pyrophoric. See general caution and safety section. 

The colorless, liquid product is now distilled, bp 29-30°C at 40 torr, into the collection flask which is ideal for its long-term storage under vacuum (see properties). Yield 74 g (95% based on cadmium dichloride). 

The product, which at this point is bright yellow due to traces of dissolved base, is retrapped at room temperature, in vacuo, from one storage flask to another. If the product is now not completely colorless, the retrapping process is repeated. Yield 72 g (96% based on adduct, 93% based on cadmium dichloride). 

Methylphenyl trimethylsilyl tellurium and cadmium dichloride stirred in tetrahydrofuran at 20° for 14 hours, produced cadmium bis 4-methylbenzmetellurolate] as a bright-yellow solid in 32% yield3. The compound decomposed at 200° to cadmium telluride and bis[4-methylphenyl] tellurium. 

The electrodeposition of cadmium, Cd, is possible in the basic and neutral EMICI-AICI3 ionic liquids [56, 58]. In the basic ionic liquid, cadmium dichloride, CdCl2, dissolves and forms a divalent cadmium chlorocomplex anion, CdCl [69], which is reducible to metallic Cd at around — 1.2 V. In the case of a neutral buffered ionic liquid, the electrodeposition of Cd is observed at around —1.0 V, which is slightly positive than in the basic ionic liquid probably caused by the formation of more reducible species, CdCl3. ... 

The electrodeposition of cadmium, Cd, has been studied in an acidic EMICl-ZnCl2 ionic liquid [92]. Cadmium dichloride, CdCl2, dissolves in the ionc liquid and forms a divalent cadmium species, which is reducible to metallic Cd prior to the bulk deposition of metallic Zn. The electrodeposition of Zn-Cd alloys was also reported.

CADMIUM DICHLORIDE (10108-64-2) Violent reaction with bromium trifluoride, potassium. Contact with acids, acid fumes forms toxic chloride fumes. Incompatible with strong oxidizers, elemental sulfur, selenium, tellurium. Austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to pitting attack and stress corrosion in the presence of chlorides.
