The crystal structure described by EuCl2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Eu(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing EuCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Eu(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
