PCl4SeCl5 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ima2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight [pcl4]+1 molecules and four SeCl5 clusters. In each SeCl5 cluster, there are two inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(12), one Cl(2), one Cl(6), and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SeCl6 octahedra. In the second Se site, Se(2) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(5), one Cl(9), and two equivalent Cl(11) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SeCl5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. There are eight inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(11) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(12) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Se(1) and one Se(2) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se(1) atom. In the sixth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se(2) atom. In the seventh Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Se(1) atom. In the eighth Cl site, Cl(9) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se(2) atom.
