The structure described by EuLa2S4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Eu(1) is bonded to eight equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted EuS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight equivalent La(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent Eu(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight equivalent La(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids. La(1) is bonded to eight equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted LaS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Eu(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent La(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four equivalent La(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, faces with four equivalent Eu(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent La(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids. S(1) is bonded to two equivalent Eu(1) and four equivalent La(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing SLa4Eu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 16-50°. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
