The compound described by VCl4 is Silicon tetrafluoride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four vanadium tetrachloride molecules. V(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(4) atom. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
