SbCl5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two SbCl5 clusters. Sb(1) is bonded in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry to two equivalent Cl(2) and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom.

Sb(1) is bonded in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry to two equivalent Cl(2) and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Both Sb(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.36 Å. All Sb(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.31 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom.
