Cadmium iodide

Cadmium iodide, CdI₂, is a chemical compound of cadmium and iodine. It is notable for its crystal structure, which is typical for compounds of the form MX₂ with strong polarization effects.

Uses

Cadmium iodide is used in lithography, photography, electroplating and the manufacturing of phosphors.

Preparation

Cadmium iodide is prepared by the addition of cadmium metal, or its oxide, hydroxide or carbonate to hydroiodic acid.

Also, the compound can be made by heating cadmium with iodine.

Crystal structure

In cadmium iodide the iodide anions form a hexagonal close packed arrangement while the cadmium cations fill all of the octahedral sites in alternate layers. The resultant structure consists of a layered lattice. This same basic structure is found in many other salts and minerals. Cadmium iodide is mostly ionically bonded but with partial covalent character.

Cadmium iodide's crystal structure is the prototype on which the crystal structures many other compounds can be considered to be based. Compounds with any of the following characteristics tend to adopt the CdI₂ structure:
