The crystal structure described by BCl3 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two boron trichloride molecules. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
