RbHSeO4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 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 ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.37 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.52 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.52 Å. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.05 Å) and one longer (1.50 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.04 Å) and one longer (1.55 Å) H–O bond length. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.04 Å) and one longer (1.55 Å) H–O bond length. There are three inequivalent Se6+ sites. In the first Se6+ site, Se6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.65–1.76 Å. In the second Se6+ site, Se6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.65–1.77 Å. In the third Se6+ site, Se6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.65–1.77 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Rb1+, one H1+, and one Se6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Rb1+, one H1+, and one Se6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom.

In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Se6+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Rb1+, one H1+, and one Se6+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two Rb1+, one H1+, and one Se6+ atom.
