MoCl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four MoCl5 clusters. Mo5+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing MoCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mo–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.54 Å. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo5+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Mo5+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Mo5+ atoms. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Mo5+ atoms.
