Cd₁Au₃ is an intermetallic compound formed from cadmium and gold in a 1:3 atomic ratio, belonging to the family of precious metal intermetallics. This material is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest rather than widespread commercial use, studied for its electronic and thermal properties in applications requiring high stability and corrosion resistance. The cadmium-gold system is notable in materials science for understanding phase behavior in noble metal alloys, though practical adoption remains limited due to cadmium's toxicity concerns and the high cost of gold.
