The crystal structure described by Gd2CCl is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Gd(1) is bonded to three equivalent C(1) and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing GdC3Cl3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form CGd6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Cl(1)Gd6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent C(1)Gd6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Cl(1)Gd6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 14°. Cl(1) is bonded to six equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form distorted ClGd6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent C(1)Gd6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent C(1)Gd6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Cl(1)Gd6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 14°. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
