The material structure described by LaPS4 is Zircon-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. There are two inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form distorted LaS8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with four equivalent P(1)S4 tetrahedra. In the second La site, La(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms. P(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form PS4 tetrahedra that share edges with two equivalent La(1)S8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one La(1), one La(2), and one P(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one La(1), one La(2), and one P(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
