(In)3In2Cl9 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eighteen 7440-74-6 atoms and six In2Cl9 clusters. In each In2Cl9 cluster, In(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cl(1) and three equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form distorted face-sharing InCl6 octahedra. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In(1) atom.
