IrCl3 is Aluminum trichloride-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Ir(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms to form edge-sharing IrCl6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ir(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ir(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ir(1) atoms.
