LiVS3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Li(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal planar geometry to one S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms. V(1) is bonded to one S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing VS5 trigonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Li(1), one V(1), and one S(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing SLi2V2 trigonal pyramids. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms.
