Ti(O4Cl)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Ti(O4Cl)4 clusters. Ti is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.14 Å. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.42 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ti and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.52 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.42 Å. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ti and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.55 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.42 Å. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ti and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.52 Å. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ti and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms.
