RhC4NH8O4Cl(CH3)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight methane molecules and two RhC4NH8O4Cl clusters. In one of the RhC4NH8O4Cl clusters, Rh4+ is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to four O2- and one Cl1- atom. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Rh–O bond lengths. The Rh–Cl bond length is 2.61 Å. There are four inequivalent C1- sites. In the first C1- site, C1- is bonded to one N3- and three H1+ atoms to form corner-sharing CH3N tetrahedra.
