Mo2OCl4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(1), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing MoCl4O trigonal bipyramids. O(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Mo(1) atoms.
