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 D_3d symmetry and the other having C_3v symmetry.{{cite journal|last1=Chang|first1=Jin Rong.|last2=McPherson|first2=Gary L.|last3=Atwood|first3=Jerry L.|title=Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of vanadium(II) and nickel(II) doped into crystals of cesium cadmium chloride and a redetermination of the structure of cesium cadmium chloride|journal=Inorganic Chemistry|date=December 1975|volume=14|issue=12|pages=3079–3085|doi=10.1021/ic50154a044}}
