Caesium cadmium chloride (CsCdCl3) is a synthetic crystalline material. It belongs to the AMX3 group (where A=alkali metal, M=bivalent metal, X=halogen ions). It crystallizes in a hexagonal space group ''P63/''mmc with unit cell lengths ''a'' = 7.403 Å and ''c'' = 18.406 Å, with one cadmium ion having ''D3d'' symmetry and the other having ''C3v'' symmetry. It is formed when an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid containing an
