Cadmium nitrate

Cadmium nitrate describes any of the related members of a family of inorganic compounds with the general formula Cd(NO3)2·xH2O.

According to X-ray crystallography, the tetrahydrate features octahedral Cd2+ centers bound to six oxygen ligands.

[8] Cadmium nitrate is used for coloring glass and porcelain[7] and as a flash powder in photography.

A red modification of the sulfide is formed under boiling conditions.

Many insoluble cadmium salts are obtained by such precipitation reactions.
