Abstract

Rb crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Rb bond distances ranging from 4.76–5.10 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Rb bond distances ranging from 4.76–5.08 Å. In the third Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Rb bond distances ranging from 4.79–5.07 Å. In the fourth Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Rb bond distances ranging from 4.77–5.09 Å. In the fifth Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are one shorter (4.83 Å) and one longer (4.84 Å) Rb–Rb bond lengths. In the sixth Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are one shorter (4.79 Å) and one longer (5.07 Å) Rb–Rb bond lengths. In the seventh Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms. There are one shorter (4.77 Å) and one longer (4.94 Å) Rb–Rb bond lengths. In the eighth Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Rb atoms.
