The material structure described by Rb3VS4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to one Rb(2), four equivalent Rb(1), and one V(1) atom to form distorted edge-sharing SRb5V octahedra. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(2), four equivalent Rb(1), and one V(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb(2), three equivalent Rb(1), and one V(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
