The structure described by NiCl is Wurtzite structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. Ni(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NiCl4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ClNi4 tetrahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
