Abstract: The crystal structure of aluminium phosphorus chloride (systematic name: phosphorus tetrachloride tetrachloridoaluminate), (PCl4)[AlCl4] or AlPCl8, was determined and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcm. The asymmetric unit comprises one Al atom, one P atom, and five Cl atoms. The structure is characterized by isolated AlCl4 and PCl4 tetrahedra, isostructural with FePCl8 and GaPCl8 © 2024 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved.
