Cadmium tellurite is the tellurite salt of cadmium, with the chemical formula CdTeO₃.

Preparation

Cadmium tellurite can be prepared by the reaction of cadmium sulfate and sodium tellurite in ammonia.

Properties

Cadmium tellurite is a colourless solid ^[1] that is insoluble in water. ^[2] It is a semiconductor. It is part of the monoclinic crystal system, with space group P2₁/c (No. 14). It can also crystallize in the cubic crystal system and hexagonal crystal system at temperatures above 540 °C. ^{[4] [5]}
