The material described by WCl5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of six WCl5 clusters. In two of the WCl5 clusters, W(2) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(4), and two equivalent Cl(5) atoms to form edge-sharing WCl6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent W(2) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(2) atom. In four of the WCl5 clusters, W(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(6), one Cl(7), one Cl(8), and one Cl(9) atom to form edge-sharing WCl6 octahedra. There are six inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(9) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the sixth Cl site, Cl(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
