Cadmium fluoroborate Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

colorless liquid [STR93]

Uses

Cadmium Fluoroborate can be used as a catalyst.

General Description

Colorless odorless aqueous solution. Sinks and mixes with water.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Cadmium fluoroborate acts as a weakly acidic inorganic salt, which is soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

Health Hazard

Ingestion produces severe toxic symptoms; both kidney and liver injuries may occur; may be fatal. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic hydrogen fluoride and cadmium oxide fumes may form in fires.

Safety Profile

Suspected human carcinogen. Poison by ingestion and inhalation. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cd and F-. See TETRAFLUOROBORATE.
