K2InOCl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. K(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), and three equivalent Cl(4) atoms. In(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to one O(1), one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In(1) atom. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one In(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one In(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing ClK4In square pyramids. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one In(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing ClK4In square pyramids. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent K(1) and one In(1) atom.
K2InOCl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. K(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), and three equivalent Cl(4) atoms.
