Abstract

Rb3Hg2S3O12Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to nine O2- and one Cl1- atom. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.52 Å. The Rb–Cl bond length is 3.53 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to nine O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.84–3.62 Å.

There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.35 Å. The Rb–Cl bond length is 3.43 Å. There are two inequivalent Hg2+ sites. In the first Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted HgO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Hg–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.57 Å. In the second Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded to four O2- and one Cl1- atom to form distorted HgClO4 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Hg–O bond distances ranging from 2.15–2.94 Å. The Hg–Cl bond length is 2.36 Å. There are three inequivalent S6+ sites. In the first S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three HgO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.56 Å. In the second S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three HgO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.55 Å. In the third S6+ site, S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three HgO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.54 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Rb1+, one Hg2+, and one S6+ atom.
