TeS4(NCl)4 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four TeS4(NCl)4 clusters. There are four inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one S(1) and one S(2) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Te(1), one S(1), and one S(3) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one S(2) and one S(4) atom. In the fourth N site, N(4) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one S(3) and one S(4) atom. Te(1) is bonded in a square pyramidal geometry to one N(2), one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(4) atom. There are four inequivalent S sites.
