The material structure described by (Bi6O8Cl)4(Cl2)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure consists of six hydrochloric acid atoms inside a Bi6O8Cl framework. In the Bi6O8Cl framework, there are six inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to one O(1), one O(6), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(2), one O(3), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms.

In the sixth Bi site, Bi(6) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one O(7), three equivalent O(8), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are eight inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to one Bi(1), one Bi(3), and two equivalent Bi(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to one Bi(2), one Bi(4), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Bi(2) and two equivalent Bi(3) atoms. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded to two equivalent Bi(1) and two equivalent Bi(4) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded to one Bi(4), one Bi(5), and two equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded to one Bi(1), one Bi(3), and two equivalent Bi(5) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. In the seventh O site, O(7) is bonded to one Bi(5), one Bi(6), and two equivalent Bi(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. In the eighth O site, O(8) is bonded to one Bi(3) and three equivalent Bi(6) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra.
