The structure described by Sc2S3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. There are two inequivalent Sc sites. In the first Sc site, Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. In the second Sc site, Sc(2) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ScS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-5°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent Sc(2) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Sc(1) and two equivalent Sc(2) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
