The compound described by Zr(O4Cl)4 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Zr(O4Cl)4 clusters. Zr(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(10), one O(12), one O(16), one O(2), one O(6), one O(8), and one O(9) atom to form distorted ZrO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent Cl(1,2)O4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent Cl(3,4)O4 tetrahedra. There are sixteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Zr(1) and one Cl(1,2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Zr(1) and one Cl(3,4) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl(1,2) atom.
