The structure described by Gd(OH)2Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Gd(1) and one H(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Gd(1) and one H(2) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
