SbP(OCl3)2 is beta Polonium structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two SbP(OCl3)2 clusters. Sb(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(4), and one Cl(5) atom to form SbCl4O2 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent P(1)Cl2O2 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(6) atom to form PCl2O2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Sb(1)Cl4O2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 37-39°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb(1) and one P(1) atom. There are six inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the sixth Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom.
