NbCl6P2NCl6 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four NbCl6 clusters and four P2NCl6 clusters. In each NbCl6 cluster, Nb(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(5) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In each P2NCl6 cluster, P(1) is bonded to one N(1), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and one Cl(6) atom to form corner-sharing PNCl3 tetrahedra. N(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent P(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom.
