MoCl5PCl4 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two [pcl4]+1 molecules and one MoCl5 cluster. In the MoCl5 cluster, Mo(1) is bonded to one Cl(3), one Cl(4), one Cl(5), one Cl(6), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo(1) atom.
