Materials Data on Rb3In by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb3In is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded to eight equivalent Rb and four equivalent In atoms to form distorted RbRb8In4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RbRb8In4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent InRb12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent RbRb8In4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent InRb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent RbRb8In4 cuboctahedra. All Rb–Rb bond lengths are 4.38 Å. All Rb–In bond lengths are 4.38 Å. In is bonded to twelve equivalent Rb atoms to form distorted InRb12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent InRb12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent RbRb8In4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent InRb12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent RbRb8In4 cuboctahedra.
