S8O is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four cyclooctasulfur oxide (s8o) molecules. There are eight inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(2) and one S(8) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(1) and one S(3) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(2) and one S(4) atom. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(3) and one S(5) atom. In the fifth S site, S(5) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(4) and one S(6) atom. In the sixth S site, S(6) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(5) and one S(7) atom. In the seventh S site, S(7) is bonded in a water-like geometry to one S(6) and one S(8) atom. In the eighth S site, S(8) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(1), one S(7), and one O(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S(8) atom.
