RbHoS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent S(1) atoms. Ho(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing HoS6 octahedra. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SRb3Ho3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
