AlC3NH8Cl2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one AlC3NH8Cl2 cluster. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent N(1), one Cl(1), and one Cl(2) atom to form AlN2Cl2 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent C(1)H3N tetrahedra and  an edgeedge with one Al(1)N2Cl2 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded to one N(1), one H(1), one H(2), and one H(3) atom to form CH3N tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Al(1)N2Cl2 tetrahedra. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one C(3), one N(1), one H(4), and one H(5) atom. In the third C site, C(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one C(2), one H(6), one H(7), and one H(8) atom. N(1) is bonded to two equivalent Al(1), one C(1), and one C(2) atom to form edge-sharing NAl2C2 tetrahedra. There are eight inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the third H site, H(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the fourth H site, H(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(2) atom.
