(Bi)5(AlCl4)3 is Iron carbide-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of thirty 7440-69-9 atoms and eighteen AlCl4 clusters. In each AlCl4 cluster, Al(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom.

In each AlCl4 cluster, Al(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Both Al(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths are 2.15 Å. Both Al(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.14 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom.
