LiDyS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form LiS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Dy(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Dy(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Dy(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form DyS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Dy(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Dy(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SLi3Dy3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
