In solid sate pcl3 is ionic why?

pcl5 as solid state it exists as
PCl4+ PCl6- - the reason that the molecular form is not favored is probably explained by the substantial "gain" in lattice energy moving to an ionic form from a molecular form with weak intermolecular bonds. Also packing of the PCl5 molecules would be less efficient compared to that of the ionic solid with a mix of 4 and 6 coordinate species.
