Materials Data on Rb4PbBr6 by Materials Project
Rb4PbBr6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Br1- atoms. All Rb–Br bond lengths are 3.47 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Br bond distances ranging from 3.64–3.79 Å. Pb2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Br1- atoms. All Pb–Br bond lengths are 3.05 Å. Br1- is bonded to five Rb1+ and one Pb2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing BrRb5Pb octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–67°.
