InIn7Cl12 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight indium molecules and one In7Cl12 framework. In the In7Cl12 framework, there are eight inequivalent In+1.50+ sites. In the first In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (3.18 Å) and one longer (3.26 Å) In–Cl bond lengths. In the second In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.63 Å. In the third In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.37 Å. In the fourth In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (3.14 Å) and one longer (3.28 Å) In–Cl bond lengths. In the fifth In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.39 Å. In the sixth In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.36 Å. In the seventh In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.58 Å. In the eighth In+1.50+ site, In+1.50+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.59 Å. There are fifteen inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two In+1.50+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three In+1.50+ atoms.
