C2PN3Cl4 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four 2,2,4,6-tetrachloro-5h-1,3,5,2-triazaphosphinin-2-ium molecules. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one Cl(1) atom. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent N(2) and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one C(1) and one P(1) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom.
