Re2PCl crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re(1) is bonded in a 14-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Re(2), four equivalent P(1), and six equivalent Cl(1) atoms. In the second Re site, Re(2) is bonded to four equivalent Re(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing ReRe4Cl4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Re(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Re(2), six equivalent Re(1), and four equivalent P(1) atoms.
