The compound described by AuCl4 is diamond structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four AuCl4 clusters. Au(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
