Materials Data on RbCO3 by Materials Project
RbCO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.94–3.19 Å. In the second Rb site, Rb is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to ten O atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.87–3.54 Å. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.25–1.41 Å. In the second C site, C is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of C–O bond distances ranging from 1.25–1.42 Å. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb and one C atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb and one C atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one C atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb and one C atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb and one C atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb and one C atom.
