U3Cl is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent U sites. In the first U site, U(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. In the second U site, U(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent U(2) and eight equivalent U(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing ClU12 cuboctahedra.
