Co(CO)4SiCl3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four 19165-34-5 molecules and four Co(CO)4 clusters. In each Co(CO)4 cluster, Co(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to one C(1), one C(2), one C(3), and one C(4) atom. There are four inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(1) and one O(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(1) and one O(4) atom. In the third C site, C(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(1) and one O(2) atom. In the fourth C site, C(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Co(1) and one O(3) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(3) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(4) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(2) atom.
