Cadmium fluoride

Description:

Cadmium fluoride (CdF2) is an inorganic compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance and high melting point. It is a binary salt formed from cadmium and fluorine, exhibiting a tetragonal crystal structure. CdF2 is known for its low solubility in water, which makes it less reactive in aqueous environments. The compound is primarily used in various applications, including as a source of fluoride ions in chemical synthesis and in the production of optical materials due to its transparency in the ultraviolet to infrared range. Cadmium fluoride can also be utilized in the manufacture of certain types of glass and ceramics. However, it is important to note that cadmium compounds are toxic and pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. In terms of its chemical behavior, CdF2 can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of cadmium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid. Overall, cadmium fluoride is a significant compound in both industrial applications and research, but its toxicity requires stringent safety measures.
