RhCl2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. Rh(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing RhCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are two shorter (2.44 Å) and four longer (2.45 Å) Rh(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) atoms.
