AlBiTeCl4 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-4 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two AlBiTeCl4 clusters. Al(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), and one Cl(4) atom. Bi(1) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Te(1) and one Cl(3) atom. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Al(1) and one Bi(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al(1) atom.
