The crystal structure described by WCl6 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of three tungsten(vi) chloride molecules. W(1,2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Cl(1,2,3) atoms. Cl(1,2,3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W(1,2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
