Cs2CrO4Cl5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Cl(3), three equivalent Cl(2), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr(1) atom. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cs(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cr(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cs(1) atoms.
Cs2CrO4Cl5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Cl(3), three equivalent Cl(2), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. The Cs(1)-Cl(3) bond length is 3.34 Å. There are two shorter (3.52 Å) and one longer (3.62 Å) Cs(1)-Cl(2) bond length. There are a spread of Cs(1)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 3.51-3.61 Å. Cr(1) is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. All Cr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.82 Å. Both Cr(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.36 Å. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr(1) atom. There are three inequivalent Cl sites.
