Caesium cadmium chloride (CsCdCl
3) is a synthetic crystalline material. It belongs to the AMX
3 group (where A=alkali metal, M=bivalent metal, X=halogen ions). It crystallizes in a
hexagonal space group ''P6
3/''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 ''C
3v'' symmetry.
It is formed when an
