Th3Cl is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. There are two inequivalent Th sites. In the first Th site, Th(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. In the second Th site, Th(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Th(2) and eight equivalent Th(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ClTh12 cuboctahedra.
