The crystal structure described by CaCl2 is Hydrophilite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Ca(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CaCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 52-53°. Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ca(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
