Materials Data on RbSrCl3 by Materials Project

Abstract

RbSrCl3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.92–4.14 Å. Sr2+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing SrCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–4°. There are five shorter (2.85 Å) and one longer (2.86 Å) Sr–Cl bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Sr2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Sr2+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a linear geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Sr2+ atoms.
