The structure described by Gd4BO7Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. There are four inequivalent Gd sites. In the first Gd site, Gd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), one O(6), one O(7), and one Cl(1) atom. In the second Gd site, Gd(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(5), two equivalent O(4), and one Cl(1) atom. In the third Gd site, Gd(3) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), one O(7), two equivalent O(1), and one Cl(1) atom. In the fourth Gd site, Gd(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), one O(6), one O(7), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(5), one O(6), and one O(7) atom. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded to one Gd(1), one Gd(2), one Gd(3), and one Gd(4) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(4) is bonded to one Gd(3), one Gd(4), and two equivalent Gd(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(5) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Gd(1), one Gd(2), one Gd(3), and one B(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Gd(1), one Gd(4), and one B(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(7) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Gd(1), one Gd(3), one Gd(4), and one B(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(1) is bonded to one Gd(1), one Gd(2), and two equivalent Gd(3) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. In the seventh O site, O(2) is bonded to one Gd(1), one Gd(2), one Gd(3), and one Gd(4) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Gd(1), one Gd(2), one Gd(3), and two equivalent Gd(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
