Rh2S3 is Corundum-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Rh(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing RhS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-70°. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Rh(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SRh4 trigonal pyramids. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to four equivalent Rh(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SRh4 tetrahedra.

Rh(1) is bonded to two equivalent S(1) and four equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing RhS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-70°. There is one shorter (2.31 Å) and one longer (2.42 Å) Rh(1)-S(1) bond length. There are a spread of Rh(1)-S(2) bond distances ranging from 2.35-2.41 Å. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to four equivalent Rh(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SRh4 trigonal pyramids. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded to four equivalent Rh(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SRh4 tetrahedra.
