Cadmium bromide

Cadmium bromide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdBr2. It is a white hygroscopic solid. It also can be obtained as a mono- and tetrahydrate. It has few applications.

Cadmium bromide is prepared by heating cadmium with bromine vapor. The tetrahydrate has been obtained by crystallization of the dibromide from aqueous solution. At 3.04 g/cm3, it is much less dense than the anhydrous material. According to X-ray crystallography, the tetrahydrate is a polymer of CdBr2(H2O)2 with bridging bromide ligands. There are two interstitial water molecules
