The structure described by Re4O9Cl8 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one Re4O9Cl8 cluster. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(4), one O(5), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(4) atom. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one Cl(1) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Re(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(2) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Re(1) and one Re(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(1) atom. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
