The crystal structure described by Rb2Cd3S4 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 one S(3), two equivalent S(2), and four equivalent S(1) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cd sites. In the first Cd site, Cd(1) is bonded to one S(2), one S(3), and two equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CdS4 tetrahedra. In the second Cd site, Cd(2) is bonded to one S(2), one S(3), and two equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing CdS4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), one Cd(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded to one Rb(2), two equivalent Rb(1), one Cd(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SRb3Cd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-56°. In the third S site, S(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), one Cd(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
