Materials Data on RbF3 by Materials Project
RbF3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded to twelve F atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing RbF12 cuboctahedra. There are four shorter (2.88 Å) and eight longer (2.98 Å) Rb–F bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb atoms. In the second F site, F is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Rb atoms.
