Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)

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 <math>\mathrm{P}6_{3}/\mathrm{mmc}\,\!</math> 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[1].

It is formed when an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid containing an equimolar solution of caesium chloride and cadmium chloride[2].
