The structure described by Na6CoS4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. There are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na(1) is bonded to one S(2) and three equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted NaS4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent Co(1)S4 tetrahedra, corners with eight equivalent Na(1)S4 tetrahedra, and  an edgeedge with one Co(1)S4 tetrahedra. In the second Na site, Na(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one S(2) and four equivalent S(1) atoms. Co(1) is bonded to one S(2) and three equivalent S(1) atoms to form CoS4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Na(1)S4 tetrahedra and edges with three equivalent Na(1)S4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1), four equivalent Na(2), and one Co(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Na(1), three equivalent Na(2), and one Co(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
