PtCl2 is Tungsten structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of three PtCl2 clusters. Pt(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pt(1) atoms.
