(Bi)5(GaCl4)3 is Iron carbide-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of six 7440-69-9 atoms, six Bi clusters, and eighteen GaCl4 clusters. In each Bi cluster, there are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Bi(3) atom. In the second Bi site, Bi(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. In each GaCl4 cluster, Ga(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(4) atom. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ga(1) atom.
