The material described by PtCl2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two PtCl2 clusters. There are two inequivalent Pt sites. In the first Pt site, Pt(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pt(1), one Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. In the second Pt site, Pt(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Cl(1) and one Cl(4) atom. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Pt(1) and two equivalent Pt(2) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(1) and one Cl(3) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
