CsGaCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Cl(2), three equivalent Cl(1), and six equivalent Cl(3) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Ga(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cs(1) and one Ga(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Ga(1) atom.
CsGaCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Cl(2), three equivalent Cl(1), and six equivalent Cl(3) atoms. The Cs(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 3.60 Å. There is one shorter (3.66 Å) and two longer (3.91 Å) Cs(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Cs(1)-Cl(3) bond distances ranging from 3.61-3.80 Å. Ga(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. The Ga(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 2.18 Å. The Ga(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 2.17 Å. Both Ga(1)-Cl(3) bond lengths are 2.19 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Ga(1) atom.
