C2N2I

C2N2I refers to Cadmium(II) cyanide iodide, an inorganic chemical compound with the molecular formula Cd(CN)2I2. It is a salt that combines cadmium, cyanide, and iodide ions. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature. Information regarding its precise physical properties like melting point and solubility is not widely documented in standard chemical literature. The preparation of such mixed-halide cyanide complexes of cadmium can often involve reactions between cadmium salts, cyanide sources, and iodide sources in appropriate solvent systems. Cadmium compounds, in general, are known for their toxicity, and compounds containing cyanide are also hazardous due to the presence of the highly toxic cyanide ion. Therefore, C2N2I should be handled with extreme caution and appropriate safety measures. Its specific applications or industrial uses are not commonly reported, suggesting it is likely a research chemical or an intermediate in specialized synthesis rather than a widely utilized compound. Further research would be needed to ascertain its detailed chemical behavior and potential applications.
