(WTe2)3WS2 is Molybdenite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one WS2 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction and three WTe2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In the WS2 sheet, W4+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WS6 pentagonal pyramids. All W–S bond lengths are 2.49 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent W4+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent W4+ atoms. In each WTe2 sheet, W4+ is bonded to six equivalent Te2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing WTe6 pentagonal pyramids. There are three shorter (2.72 Å) and three longer (2.73 Å) W–Te bond lengths. Te2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent W4+ atoms.
