CsCl
Cesium chloride (CsCl) is an inorganic compound composed of Cs+ and Cl− in a 1:1 ratio. It forms colorless to white crystalline solids that are highly soluble in water.
CsCl crystallizes in the cesium chloride structure (CsCl-type or B2), a simple cubic lattice with Cs+ and
Melting point is about 645 °C. The solid dissolves in water to give an electrically conducting solution
Preparation and handling: Commercially produced by reacting CsOH with HCl, CsCl can also be formed by the
Uses: CsCl is widely employed as a laboratory reagent and as a source of Cs+ and Cl−
Safety: CsCl is of moderate toxicity if ingested and can disturb electrolyte balance; handle with appropriate
