PtCl4 is Silicon tetrafluoride-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight platinum(iv) chloride molecules. Pt(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(2) and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(1) atom.
