The material described by Ge2S5 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Ge2S5 clusters. There are four inequivalent Ge sites. In the first Ge site, Ge(1) is bonded to one S(1), one S(3), one S(6), and one S(8) atom to form corner-sharing GeS4 tetrahedra. In the second Ge site, Ge(2) is bonded to one S(10), one S(2), one S(5), and one S(6) atom to form corner-sharing GeS4 tetrahedra. In the third Ge site, Ge(3) is bonded to one S(1), one S(2), one S(4), and one S(7) atom to form corner-sharing GeS4 tetrahedra. In the fourth Ge site, Ge(4) is bonded to one S(3), one S(4), one S(5), and one S(9) atom to form corner-sharing GeS4 tetrahedra. There are ten inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(3) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ge(2) and one Ge(3) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(4) atom. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ge(3) and one Ge(4) atom. In the fifth S site, S(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ge(2) and one Ge(4) atom. In the sixth S site, S(6) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ge(1) and one Ge(2) atom. In the seventh S site, S(7) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(3) atom. In the eighth S site, S(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) atom. In the ninth S site, S(9) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(4) atom. In the tenth S site, S(10) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
