Cu2(OH)3Cl crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. There are two inequivalent Cu sites. In the first Cu site, Cu(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Cu site, Cu(2) is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) and one Cl(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cu(1), two equivalent Cu(2), and one H(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu(2) and three equivalent H(1) atoms.
