The crystal structure described by Ta3(InS3)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. There are two inequivalent Ta sites. In the first Ta site, Ta(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. In the second Ta site, Ta(2) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing TaS6 pentagonal pyramids. In(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ta(2), two equivalent Ta(1), and two equivalent In(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
