The structure described by Li3BiS3 crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Li(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. Bi(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Li(1) and one Bi(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SLi4Bi trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
