KMnO2Cl3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. K(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(2), two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and three equivalent Cl(3) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one Cl(1), one Cl(2), and one Cl(3) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mn(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one K(1) and one Mn(1) atom. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one Mn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one Mn(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent K(1) and one Mn(1) atom.
