AuSCl5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four AuSCl5 clusters. Au(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one S(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(4) atom. S(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Au(1), one Cl(1), and one Cl(5) atom. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1) atom.
