Materials Data on Rb3Al by Materials Project
Rb3Al is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb and four equivalent Al atoms. All Rb–Rb bond lengths are 4.14 Å. All Rb–Al bond lengths are 4.14 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Rb atoms. Al is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Rb atoms.
