Chemical Structure

Cadmium Chloride CAS 10108-64-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cadmium Chloride is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Cadmium Chloride (CAS 10108-64-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula CdCl2 and a molecular weight of 183.32 g/mol.

Owing to chlorine substitution, Cadmium Chloride is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 183.32 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cadmium Chloride meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
