The compound described by UCl5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one UCl5 cluster. U(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), one Cl(5), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing UCl6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
