Materials Data on RbSnCl3 by Materials Project
RbSnCl3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are three shorter (3.38 Å) and three longer (3.54 Å) Rb–Cl bond lengths. Sn2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing SnCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. There are three shorter (2.68 Å) and three longer (3.07 Å) Sn–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Sn2+ atoms.
