Ho2S3 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Ho(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-61°. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SHo4 trigonal pyramids.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 47-61°. There are three shorter (2.69 Å) and three longer (2.77 Å) Ho(1)-S(1) bond lengths. S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SHo4 trigonal pyramids.
