The structure described by ZnO8Cl is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two ZnO8Cl clusters. Zn(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Cl(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl(1) atom. In the second O site, O(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl(1) atom. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Zn(1) and one O(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the sixth O site, O(4) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one O(6) atom. In the seventh O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the eighth O site, O(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(4) atom. Cl(1) is bonded to one O(3), one O(5), one O(7), and one O(8) atom to form ClO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Zn(1)O4 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
