Rb2Se is Fluorite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to four equivalent Se2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing RbSe4 tetrahedra. All Rb–Se bond lengths are 3.52 Å. Se2- is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Rb1+ atoms.
Rb2Se5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Se+0.40- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.49–3.85 Å.
