Materials Data on Rb2SiF6 by Materials Project
Rb2SiF6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent F1- atoms to form distorted RbF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RbF12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RbF12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent SiF6 octahedra. All Rb–F bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Si4+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form SiF6 octahedra that share faces with eight equivalent RbF12 cuboctahedra. All Si–F bond lengths are 1.72 Å. F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and one Si4+ atom.
