BoilingPt = 1748 °CCadmium fluoride (CdF2) is a water-insoluble source of Cadmium used in oxygen-sensitive applications, such as the production of metallic alloys. In extremely low concentrations (ppm), this and other fluoride compounds are used in limited medical treatment protocols. Fluoride compounds also have significant uses in synthetic organic chemistry.
