LaCl3N2Cl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure consists of four 7727-37-9 molecules and four 7782-50-5 molecules inside a LaCl3 framework. In the LaCl3 framework, La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(4) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent La(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent La(1) atoms.

In the LaCl3 framework, La(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(4) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.74 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) La(1)-Cl(4) bond length. There are two shorter (2.79 Å) and two longer (2.87 Å) La(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent La(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent La(1) atoms.
