Materials Data on RbInCl3 by Materials Project
RbInCl3 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 (3.45 Å) and three longer (3.63 Å) Rb–Cl bond lengths. In2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing InCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. There are three shorter (2.74 Å) and three longer (2.77 Å) In–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent In2+ atoms.
