NbCl6PCl4 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two [pcl4]+1 molecules and two NbCl6 clusters. In one of the NbCl6 clusters, Nb(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(2,3,5); two equivalent Cl(4); and two equivalent Cl(6) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2,3,5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(2) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(6) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(1) atom. In one of the NbCl6 clusters, Nb(2) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2,3,5) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(2) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2,3,5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Nb(2) atom.
