YbGdS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(3), and four equivalent S(2) atoms. Gd(1) is bonded to one S(2), three equivalent S(1), and three equivalent S(3) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing GdS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and one Gd(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
YbGdS3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(3), and four equivalent S(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.89 Å) and one longer (3.24 Å) Yb(1)-S(1) bond length. Both Yb(1)-S(3) bond lengths are 2.95 Å. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and two longer (2.89 Å) Yb(1)-S(2) bond lengths.
