CdI2 has a common structural
arrangement shared by many halides of the transition metals
with formula MX2. It has a hexagonal close packed array
of iodide ions with Cd(II) sitting in 1/2 of the octahedral sites
and between adjacent layers of I's. Highlight the hcp (ABABAB) layers of I's Show 2nd layer of I's Show 3rd layer of I's Show 2nd and 3rd layer Show 2nd and 4th layer show the unit cell Highlight a Cd site, CN=6 Highlight a I site, CN=3 Complexes that share this structure include.. MnI2, FeBr2,FeI2, CoBr2, CoI2. |
