The compound described by Ga3Cl7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. There are three inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cl(2), one Cl(6), and one Cl(7) atom. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(4), and one Cl(6) atom to form corner-sharing GaCl4 tetrahedra. In the third Ga site, Ga(3) is bonded to one Cl(3), one Cl(4), one Cl(5), and one Cl(7) atom to form corner-sharing GaCl4 tetrahedra. There are seven inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) and one Ga(2) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(3) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ga(2) and one Ga(3) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(3) atom. In the sixth Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) and one Ga(2) atom. In the seventh Cl site, Cl(7) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ga(1) and one Ga(3) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
