Then when store it, this material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. What's more, avoid releasing to the environment and you could also refer to special instructions/safety data sheet.

Additionally, you could convert the following datas into the molecular structure:
(1)Canonical SMILES: [Cd]=[Te]
(2)InChI: InChI=1S/Cd.Te
(3)InChIKey: RPPBZEBXAAZZJH-UHFFFAOYSA-N
