NbCl5(P2S5)2 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one NbCl5 cluster and two P2S5 clusters. In the NbCl5 cluster, Nb(1) is bonded to one Cl(3); one Cl(5); two equivalent Cl(1,4); and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing NbCl6 octahedra. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(1,4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In each P2S5 cluster, there are four inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to one S(10), one S(6), one S(8), and one S(9) atom to form corner-sharing PS4 tetrahedra.
