VCl4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two VCl4 clusters. V4+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VCl5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of V–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.56 Å. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent V4+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V4+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V4+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V4+ atom.
