The new ternary titanium(II) thio­germanate(IV), TiGeS3, was synthesized using the reactive halide flux method. The title compound shows features of a ribbon-type structure formed from double chains composed of edge-sharing octa­hedral TiS6 and pyramidal GeS3 units, with all atoms in the asymmmetric unit positioned on mirror planes. While the TiS6 octa­hedron is regular, the coordination around the Ge atom is rather irregular, which can be described as [3 + 3]. Three S atoms build up a triangle that is bound to the Ge atom, the coordination of which is augmented by three additional S atoms at considerably longer distances. The charge balance can formally be described as [Ti4+][Ge2+][S2-]3.
