SnCl5PCl4 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 one SnCl5 cluster. In the SnCl5 cluster, Sn(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and two equivalent Cl(5) atoms to form edge-sharing SnCl6 octahedra. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
