KAg5S3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62c space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form face-sharing KS6 octahedra. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded to six equivalent S(3) atoms to form distorted face-sharing KS6 octahedra. There are four inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent S(2) atoms. In the third Ag site, Ag(3) is bonded in a linear geometry to one S(1) and one S(3) atom. In the fourth Ag site, Ag(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), one Ag(1), one Ag(4), and two equivalent Ag(3) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1), one Ag(1), one Ag(4), and two equivalent Ag(2) atoms. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(2), one Ag(1), one Ag(4), and two equivalent Ag(3) atoms.
