• Canonical SMILES: Cl[Cd]Cl
• Inhalation Risk: A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.
• Effects of Short Term Exposure: The substance is severely irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance is severely irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation of the aerosol may cause lung oedema. Exposure far above the OEL could cause death. The effects may be delayed. Medical observation is indicated.
• Effects of Long Term Exposure: The substance may have effects on the kidneys and lungs. This may result in kidney impairment and tissue lesions. This substance is carcinogenic to humans.
• Description: Cadmium chloride is a cadium halide consisting of cadmium and chlorine. It is well soluble in water, methanol and ethanol. It can be used in photography, in dyeing, electroplating fabric printing and calico printing and for precipitating sulfide. It can be used for the manufacture of cadium sulfide, organocadium compound of the type R2Cd. It is manufactured through the reaction between anhydrous chlorine and hydrogen chloride gas with heated cadmium metal. It can also be made through the reaction between hydrochloric acid with cadmium oxide. However, it is a hazard to the environment, and should be limited for spread. Cadmium chloride is a colourless and odourless crystal. It is used for the preparation of cadmium sulphide, used as ‘cadmium yellow’, a brilliant-yellow pigment, which is stable to heat and sulphide fumes. Cadmium chloride has a high solubility in water and is a non-combustible solid, but the dust can be a moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame or when reacted with oxidising agents. It is incompatible with bromine trifluoride, potassium oxidisers, zinc, selenium, tellurium, and hydrogen azide.
• Uses: Cadmium chloride (CdCl2), a soluble crystal, is formed when cadmium metal is treated with hydrochloric acid (Cd + 2HCl → CdCl2 + H2). CdCl2 is used in dyeing and printing textiles, in electroplating baths, in photography, and as the ingredient for cadmium yellow in artists’ oil paint. Used in a preparation of highly luminescent CdTe nanocrystals.1 Cadmium Chloride is used in the preparation of the stable inorganic pigment cadmium sulfide (Cadmium Yellow). Cadmium Chloride treatment of thin film CDTe solar cells is used to produce high-efficienc y solar cells.. Cadmium Chloride is also used in the preparation of organocadmium compounds. Preparation of cadmium standard; analysis of sulfides; testing of pyridine bases. Made by the action of hydrochloric acid on cadmium and crystallization. The small white crystals are soluble in alcohol and water. Cadmium chloride was used to make collodionchloride printing-out emulsions, also known as leptographic or aristotype papers.
• Physical properties: Colorless powder or crystal; hexagonal crystal system; hygroscopic; density 4.047 g/cm3; melts at 560°C; vaporizes at 960°C; highly soluble in water (140 g/100g at 20°C), also soluble in acetone; slightly soluble in alcohol; insoluble in ether.

Supramolecular aggregates of azobenzene phospholipids and related compounds in bilayer assemblies and other microheterogeneous media: Structure, properties, and photoreactivity

10.1021/ja971291n

The study focuses on the synthesis and investigation of azobenzene phospholipids (APLs) in aqueous dispersions, both in pure form and when mixed with saturated and unsaturated phospholipids. The research explores the structures of the assemblies formed by these APLs, which include various forms such as large plates, and their ability to form "H" aggregates with typical aggregation numbers being multiples of three. The study utilizes techniques like microcalorimetry, dynamic light scattering, cryo-transmission electron microscopy, and reagent entrapment to analyze the assemblies. It also examines the photoreactivity of the azobenzenes, which can photoisomerize to produce cis-rich photostationary states. Interestingly, the cis-azobenzenes do not aggregate and can be reverted back to the trans form through irradiation or thermal means. The research further explores the controlled release of entrapped reagents from vesicles formed by mixed aqueous dispersions of trans-APLs with other phospholipids, demonstrating that photoisomerization can induce reagent release. The study provides insights into how aggregation influences the microstructure and macroscopic properties of the assemblies, with potential applications in drug delivery and other areas requiring photoresponsive materials.
