The material structure described by GdSmS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Gd(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form GdS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Sm(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Gd(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Sm(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. Sm(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form SmS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Gd(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Gd(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Sm(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Gd(1) and three equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SSm3Gd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
