CsCoN6H18(O2Cl)4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one CsCoN6H18(O2Cl)4 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Cs1+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to six O2- and two Cl1- atoms. There are three shorter (3.40 Å) and three longer (3.51 Å) Cs–O bond lengths. There are one shorter (3.26 Å) and one longer (3.78 Å) Cs–Cl bond lengths. Co3+ is bonded to three N+0.33- and one O2- atom to form distorted CoN3O trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one ClO4 tetrahedra.
