AlCs crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Al atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Al bond distances ranging from 3.92–4.09 Å. Al is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cs and two equivalent Al atoms. Both Al–Al bond lengths are 2.57 Å.
AlCs is Zintl Phase structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two AlCs frameworks. Cs is bonded to four equivalent Al atoms to form distorted corner-sharing CsAl4 tetrahedra. All Cs–Al bond lengths are 3.62 Å. Al is bonded to four equivalent Cs atoms to form distorted corner-sharing AlCs4 tetrahedra.
