In the title compound, [Cd(CHNO)Cl], the coordination polyhedra around the Cd cations are distorted trigonal bipyramids. Two of the chloride ions (one axial and one equatorial) are bridging to the other metal atom, leading to a Cd?Cd separation of 3.9162?(4)??. The O atom of the l-histidinium cation lies in an axial site. In the crystal, numerous N-H?Cl, N-H?O, C-H?O and C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. Theoretical calculations and spectroscopic data are available as supporting information.
