The structure described by Rh3(PbS)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Rh(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Pb(1), two equivalent Pb(2), and two equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Rh(1) and two equivalent S(1) atoms to form corner-sharing PbRh6S2 hexagonal bipyramids. In the second Pb site, Pb(2) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Rh(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) and one Pb(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
