RbAgTeS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(2), three equivalent S(1), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. Ag(1) is bonded to one S(1), one S(3), and two equivalent S(2) atoms to form corner-sharing AgS4 tetrahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar 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 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1), one Ag(1), and one Te(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Ag(1), and one Te(1) atom to form distorted edge-sharing SRb2Ag2Te square pyramids. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1), one Ag(1), and one Te(1) atom.
