LuAgS2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ima2 space group. Lu(1) is bonded to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing LuS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 11-12°. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SLu3Ag2 square pyramids. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 11-12°. There are two shorter (2.69 Å) and one longer (2.71 Å) Lu(1)-S(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.69 Å) and two longer (2.70 Å) Lu(1)-S(2) bond lengths. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms. Both Ag(1)-S(1) bond lengths are 2.70 Å. There is one shorter (2.67 Å) and one longer (2.74 Å) Ag(1)-S(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Lu(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SLu3Ag2 square pyramids.
