The material structure described by TeCl4 is alpha oxygen structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four TeCl4 clusters. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to one Cl(3), one Cl(4), one Cl(6), one Cl(7), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form edge-sharing TeCl6 octahedra. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(5), one Cl(8), and two equivalent Cl(7) atoms to form edge-sharing TeCl6 octahedra. There are eight inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Te(2) and two equivalent Te(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(2) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(1) atom. In the sixth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(2) atom. In the seventh Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te(1) atom. In the eighth Cl site, Cl(7) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Te(1) and two equivalent Te(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
