Zn2Cl5O2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure consists of eight 7782-44-7 molecules inside a Zn2Cl5 framework. In the Zn2Cl5 framework, Zn(1) is bonded to one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnCl4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) atoms.

In the Zn2Cl5 framework, Zn(1) is bonded to one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ZnCl4 tetrahedra. The Zn(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 2.25 Å. The Zn(1)-Cl(3) bond length is 2.31 Å. There is one shorter (2.30 Å) and one longer (2.32 Å) Zn(1)-Cl(1) bond length. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Zn(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn(1) atom.
