CNCl is alpha As structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium molecules. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent N(2) and one Cl(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one N(1), one N(2), and one Cl(2) atom. 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(2) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one C(1) and one C(2) 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 C(2) atom.
