Cs2YTlCl6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Cs(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Y(1)Cl6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Tl(1)Cl6 octahedra. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form YCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Tl(1)Cl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Tl(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form TlCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)Cl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Cs(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cl(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs(1), one Y(1), and one Tl(1) atom.
