The compound described by Ca3AsCl3 crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Ca(1) is bonded to two equivalent As(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CaAs2Cl4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. As(1) is bonded to six equivalent Ca(1) atoms to form corner-sharing AsCa6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cl(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
