The compound described by CeCrS2O crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Ce(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1), three equivalent S(2), and three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cr sites. In the first Cr site, Cr(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted CrS4O2 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cr(2)S6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Cr(1)S4O2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. In the second Cr site, Cr(2) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form CrS6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent Cr(1)S4O2 octahedra and edges with two equivalent Cr(2)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 55°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1), one Cr(2), and two equivalent Cr(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ce(1) and two equivalent Cr(2) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ce(1) and one Cr(1) atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe3Cr tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
