Yb5(PrS4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form YbS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SYb3Pr2S octahedra, corners with three YbS6 octahedra, and edges with four YbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 60–68°. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.11 Å. In the second Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form YbS6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SYb3Pr2S octahedra, corners with three YbS6 octahedra, and edges with four YbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 61–68°. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.09 Å. In the third Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing YbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 61–65°. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.61–3.20 Å. In the fourth Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing YbS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 60–67°. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.60–3.19 Å. In the fifth Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six S2- atoms. There are a spread of Yb–S bond distances ranging from 2.76–3.07 Å. There are three inequivalent Pr3+ sites. In the first Pr3+ site, Pr3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–S bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.06 Å.
