The structure described by Gd2SCl4 is Zircon-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), three equivalent Cl(1), and three equivalent Cl(2) atoms. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form edge-sharing SGd4 tetrahedra. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Gd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
