GeC4NCl3 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four GeC4NCl3 clusters. Ge(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Cl(2) and two equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are three inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent C(3) and one N(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(1) atom. In the third C site, C(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one C(1), one C(3), and one Cl(1) atom. N(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one C(1) and one C(2) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Ge(1) and one C(3) atom.
