Cu2(SO4)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cu3+ sites. In the first Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.05 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. In the second Cu3+ site, Cu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. There are three shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.03 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–48°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.50 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu3+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu3+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu3+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu3+ and one S6+ atom.
