Li2S is alpha bismuth trifluoride-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are twenty-two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and six S2- atoms. The Li–Li bond length is 2.29 Å. There are three shorter (2.64 Å) and three longer (3.10 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and six S2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.30 Å) and three longer (2.52 Å) Li–Li bond lengths. There are three shorter (2.66 Å) and three longer (3.07 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to one Li1+ and four S2- atoms to form distorted corner-sharing LiLiS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.36 Å) and three longer (2.51 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the fourth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four Li1+ and four S2- atoms. The Li–Li bond length is 2.23 Å. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and three longer (2.53 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the fifth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and six S2- atoms. There are three shorter (2.60 Å) and three longer (3.08 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the sixth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. There are one shorter (2.41 Å) and three longer (2.48 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the seventh Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. All Li–S bond lengths are 2.44 Å. In the eighth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. All Li–S bond lengths are 2.46 Å. In the ninth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.46 Å) and one longer (2.47 Å) Li–S bond lengths. In the tenth Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded to four S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LiS4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (2.45 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) Li–S bond lengths.
