OtherCations = calcium(II) chlorideCalcium(I) chloride (CaCl) is an unstable diatomic molecule whose bonding is strongly ionic in nature. [Studies of the optical spectra of CaCl and SrF at sub-Doppler resolution, Brown J.M., Milton D.J., Steimle T.C., Faraday Discuss. Chem. Soc., 1981, 71, 151 - 163, doi|10.1039/DC9817100151] A solid with the composition CaCl was reported in 1953 [Über das Calciummonochlorid, Ehrlich P and Gentsch L Naturwissenschaften ,(1953), 40, 17 ,460, doi|10.1007/BF00628837] however later efforts to reproduce this work failed.
