TaP4S4Cl5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two TaP4S4Cl5 clusters. Ta(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one P(2), one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and one Cl(5) atom. There are four inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one P(2), one S(1), and one S(4) atom. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one Ta(1), one P(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. In the third P site, P(3) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one P(4), one S(1), and one S(2) atom. In the fourth P site, P(4) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one P(3), one S(3), and one S(4) atom. There are four inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one P(1) and one P(3) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one P(2) and one P(3) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one P(2) and one P(4) atom. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one P(1) and one P(4) atom. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta(1) atom.
