Rh(CO)4Ga2Cl7 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Ga2Cl7 clusters and two Rh(CO)4 clusters. In each Ga2Cl7 cluster, there are two inequivalent Ga sites. In the first Ga site, Ga(1) is bonded to one Cl(4), one Cl(5), one Cl(6), and one Cl(7) atom to form corner-sharing GaCl4 tetrahedra. In the second Ga site, Ga(2) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(5) atom to form corner-sharing GaCl4 tetrahedra. There are seven inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(2) atom.
