Cd Cl Cl
CdCl2 is Cyanogen Chloride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two 10108-64-2 molecules. Cd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cl(1) and one Cl(2) atom. The Cd(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 0.79 Å. The Cd(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 0.43 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd(1) atom.
