Materials Data on RbBi3 by Materials Project
RbBi3 is Sodium arsenide structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eleven Bi atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.36–3.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb and one Bi atom. The Bi–Bi bond length is 3.16 Å. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Rb atoms.
