CeS3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. Ce(1) is bonded to four equivalent S(2) and eight equivalent S(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing CeS12 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) and four equivalent S(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Ce(1) atoms.
