Cesium perchlorate is an inorganic chemical compound of cesium from the group of perchlorates .
Extraction and presentation
Cesium perchlorate can be obtained by thermal decomposition of cesium chlorate , the decomposition taking place in two parallel ways. Since cesium perchlorate is still stable at temperatures around the melting point of cesium chlorate, it accumulates together with cesium chloride during decomposition .
properties
Cesium perchlorate is a white solid that is poorly soluble in water. The compound crystallizes isostructurally to barium sulfate in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (space group no. 62) with the lattice constants a = 9.832 (1) Å, b = 6.009 (1) Å, c = 7.764 (2) Å.

Solubility (g / 100 ml) | 0.1 | 1.0 | 1.6 | 2.6 | 4.0 | 7.3 | 14.4 | 30.0 |
When heated, it begins to decompose from around 220 ° C, and at higher temperatures it completely decomposes to cesium chloride and oxygen.
use
Cesium perchlorate is used for special optical glasses.
It can also be used to make other chemical compounds such as chloroperchlorate .
