description: LaP5O17Cl18 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two LaP5O17Cl18 clusters. La is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.71 Å. There are five inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O and three Cl atoms. The P–O bond length is 1.48 Å. All P–Cl bond lengths are 1.99 Å. In the second P site, P is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O and three Cl atoms. The P–O bond length is 1.48 Å. All P–Cl bond lengths are 1.99 Å. In the third P site, P is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O and three Cl atoms. The P–O bond length is 1.48 Å. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) P–Cl bond length. In the fourth P site, P is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O and three Cl atoms. The P–O bond length is 1.48 Å. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) P–Cl bond length. In the fifth P site, P is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O and three Cl atoms. The P–O bond length is 1.48 Å. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) P–Cl bond length.
