The structure described by GaCl3 is BCT5 structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two gallium trichloride molecules. Ga(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), and one Cl(3) atom. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
