The compound described by PuCl2 is trigonal omega-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Pu(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing PuCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Pu(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
