Lu2S3 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Lu(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing LuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-60°. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SLu4 trigonal pyramids.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-60°. There are three shorter (2.64 Å) and three longer (2.71 Å) Lu(1)-S(1) bond lengths. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Lu(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SLu4 trigonal pyramids.
