Materials Data on Rb3SbO3 by Materials Project
Rb3SbO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.82–3.21 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.06 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (3.00 Å) and two longer (3.15 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. Sb3+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. All Sb–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Rb1+ and one Sb3+ atom to form distorted edge-sharing ORb5Sb octahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five Rb1+ and one Sb3+ atom.
