The material structure described by Pd3Bi2S2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Pd(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Bi(1), two equivalent Bi(2), and two equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi(1) is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the second Bi site, Bi(2) is bonded to six equivalent Pd(1) and two equivalent S(1) atoms to form corner-sharing BiPd6S2 hexagonal bipyramids. S(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three equivalent Pd(1) and one Bi(2) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
