CsTmSiS4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.47–3.90 Å. Tm3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form distorted TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one SiS4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with three equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Tm–S bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.94 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form SiS4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one TmS7 pentagonal bipyramid and edges with three equivalent TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Si–S bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.15 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs1+, one Tm3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, two equivalent Tm3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, two equivalent Tm3+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, two equivalent Tm3+, and one Si4+ atom.

FeCu2SiS4 is Stannite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmn2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe2+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form FeS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–S bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.34 Å. Cu1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form CuS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent SiS4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–S bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.32 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form SiS4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeS4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent CuS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.16 Å) and three longer (2.17 Å) Si–S bond lengths. There are three inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Fe2+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing SFeCu2Si tetrahedra. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Fe2+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing SFeCu2Si tetrahedra. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded to one Fe2+, two equivalent Cu1+, and one Si4+ atom to form corner-sharing SFeCu2Si tetrahedra.
