TmLaS3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Tm3+ sites. In the first Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TmS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. There are a spread of Tm–S bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.79 Å. In the second Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to six S2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TmS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. There are a spread of Tm–S bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.80 Å. In the third Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Tm–S bond distances ranging from 2.70–2.99 Å. In the fourth Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing TmS7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Tm–S bond distances ranging from 2.71–2.96 Å. There are four inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of La–S bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.52 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of La–S bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.35 Å. In the third La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of La–S bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.01 Å. In the fourth La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of La–S bond distances ranging from 2.91–3.16 Å. There are twelve inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent Tm3+ and three equivalent La3+ atoms to form distorted SLa3Tm2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with six SLa4Tm square pyramids, corners with two equivalent SLa2Tm2 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent SLa2Tm2 trigonal pyramids, edges with four SLa4Tm square pyramids, edges with four equivalent SLa3Tm2 trigonal bipyramids, and an edgeedge with one SLa2Tm2 trigonal pyramid.
