SnO4Cl3 is alpha structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two SnO4Cl3 clusters. Sn(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(2), two equivalent O(1), one Cl(1), one Cl(2), and one Cl(3) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) and one O(3) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(1) and one O(4) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(3) atom. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom.
