Materials Data on RbSn by Materials Project
RbSn crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.94–4.00 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sn atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.89–4.04 Å. Sn is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to seven Rb and three equivalent Sn atoms. There are one shorter (3.00 Å) and two longer (3.01 Å) Sn–Sn bond lengths.
