ZnPCl2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one ZnPCl2 cluster. Zn(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. The Zn(1)-P(1) bond length is 2.14 Å. P(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn(1) and one Cl(2) atom. The P(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 2.48 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl(2) atom. The Cl(1)-Cl(2) bond length is 1.50 Å. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one P(1) and one Cl(1) atom.
