The crystal structure described by Sm4CrS7 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. There are two inequivalent Sm sites. In the first Sm site, Sm(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to one S(2) and three equivalent S(1) atoms. In the second Sm site, Sm(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one S(2), three equivalent S(1), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(3) atoms to form face-sharing CrS6 octahedra. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Sm(1) and three equivalent Sm(2) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to one Sm(1) and three equivalent Sm(2) atoms to form corner-sharing SSm4 tetrahedra. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded to three equivalent Sm(2) and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form distorted SSm3Cr2 square pyramids that share corners with two equivalent S(3)Sm3Cr2 square pyramids, corners with three equivalent S(2)Sm4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent S(3)Sm3Cr2 square pyramids, and faces with two equivalent S(3)Sm3Cr2 square pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
