TaCl5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of six TaCl5 clusters. Ta5+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing TaCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ta–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.57 Å. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ta5+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta5+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta5+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ta5+ atoms. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ta5+ atom.
