GaMo4S8 crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. Mo(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Mo(1) and one Ga(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SGaMo3 tetrahedra.
