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 ahexagonalspace groupP63/mmc with unit cell lengthsa = 7.403Å andc = 18.406 Å, with one cadmium ion havingD3d symmetry and the other havingC3v symmetry.[1]
It is formed when anaqueous solution ofhydrochloric acid containing anequimolar solution ofcaesium chloride andcadmium chloride.[2]
