LiTbS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form LiS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Tb(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Tb(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Tb(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form TbS6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Li(1)S6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Li(1)S6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Tb(1)S6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Li(1) and three equivalent Tb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing SLi3Tb3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
