RbDyS2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent S(1) atoms. Dy(1) is bonded to six equivalent S(1) atoms to form edge-sharing DyS6 octahedra. S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Dy(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SRb3Dy3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
