Title: A question about Ammonium Cadmium Chloride.
Post by: zuriel on October 03, 2010, 07:23:12 AM

Hey everyone, I'm new here so hi to all!

I'm doing a written assignment on the structure of a crystal and we need to reference journals.
I picked "ammonium cadmium chloride" and even though I have the relevant papers detailing its structure, I couldn't find any literature or simple google searches that gave me the proterties, uses or MSDS data of these crystals.

Could anyone please lend me a hand finding this information - it doesn't need to be much - even tiny bits of reference-able info is cool!

Thank you.  :)

Hey thanks for those!
Just had a read through them and they're a help - but they still don't answer anything about the chemical data like density, melting point etc. Strange. I wonder is this even a stable compound under STP ?
