CrN5ClPtCl4 is Modderite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four platinum(iv) chloride molecules and four CrN5Cl clusters. In each CrN5Cl cluster, Cr(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1), two equivalent N(2), and one Cl(4) atom. There are three inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr(1) atom. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cr(1), one N(2), and one N(3) atom. In the third N site, N(3) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent N(2) atoms. Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr(1) atom.
