SbCl5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four SbCl5 clusters. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(10), one Cl(3), one Cl(7), one Cl(8), and one Cl(9) atom to form edge-sharing SbCl6 octahedra. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded to one Cl(10), one Cl(2), one Cl(4), one Cl(5), one Cl(6), and one Cl(8) atom to form edge-sharing SbCl6 octahedra. There are ten inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(2) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(2) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(2) atom. In the sixth Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(2) atom. In the seventh Cl site, Cl(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the eighth Cl site, Cl(8) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Sb(1) and one Sb(2) atom. In the ninth Cl site, Cl(9) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb(1) atom. In the tenth Cl site, Cl(10) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Sb(1) and one Sb(2) atom.
