Dimethylcadmium is the organocadmium compound with the formula Cd(CH3)2. It is a colorless highly toxic liquid that fumes in air. The compound finds limited use as a reagent in organic synthesis and in MOCVD. It is a linear molecule with C-Cd bond lengths of 213 pm.[1]
Dimethylcadmium is prepared by treating cadmium dihalides with methyl Grignard reagents or methyllithium.[2]
- CdBr2 + 2 CH3MgBr → Cd(CH3)2 + MgBr2
The same method was used in the first preparation of this compound.[3]
Dimethylcadmium is a weak Lewis acid, forming an adduct with bipyridine and with ether.[2]
