SSSCs crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten S+0.33- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.57–4.12 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven S+0.33- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–S bond distances ranging from 3.60–4.25 Å. There are six inequivalent S+0.33- sites. In the first S+0.33- site, S+0.33- is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to six Cs1+ and two S+0.33- atoms. There are one shorter (2.06 Å) and one longer (3.47 Å) S–S bond lengths. In the second S+0.33- site, S+0.33- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Cs1+ and two S+0.33- atoms. The S–S bond length is 2.04 Å. In the third S+0.33- site, S+0.33- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and two S+0.33- atoms. The S–S bond length is 2.06 Å. In the fourth S+0.33- site, S+0.33- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and two S+0.33- atoms. The S–S bond length is 2.11 Å. In the fifth S+0.33- site, S+0.33- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs1+ and two S+0.33- atoms. The S–S bond length is 2.09 Å. In the sixth S+0.33- site, S+0.33- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Cs1+ and two S+0.33- atoms.
