Single crystals of CaSmCuO{sub 3}Cl have been grown by high temperature reactions with Sm{sub 2}O{sub 3}, CuO, and excess CaCl{sub 2}. Its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. CaSmCuO{sub 3}Cl crystallizes with a tetragonal T{sup *} structure (space group P4/nmm No. 129) with {alpha} = 3.894(3) angstrom and c = 13.416(8) angstrom. The structure can be described as an intergrowth of T and T{prime} forms of the rare-earth copper oxides. The observed interatomic distances are comparable to those observed for Ca{sub 2}CuO{sub 4}Cl{sub 2} and Ca{sub 3}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 4}Cl{sub 2}.
