GaCl3 is Copper structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one GaCl3 cluster. Ga(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing GaCl4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom.

Ga(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms to form edge-sharing GaCl4 tetrahedra. The Ga(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 2.13 Å. The Ga(1)-Cl(3) bond length is 2.12 Å. Both Ga(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom.
