UCl5 is Copper structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two UCl5 clusters. U(1) is bonded to one Cl(2), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), one Cl(5), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form edge-sharing UCl6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one U(1) atom.
