CsGdS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent S(1) atoms. Gd(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing GdS6 octahedra. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cs(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SCs3Gd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
