U2O2Cl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. U(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), one Cl(2), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing UCl5O2 pentagonal bipyramids. O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms.

U(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1), one Cl(2), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing UCl5O2 pentagonal bipyramids. Both U(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.05 Å. The U(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 2.74 Å. There are two shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (2.76 Å) U(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent U(1) atoms.
