Materials Data on RbH(CO2)2 by Materials Project
RbH(CO2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.51 Å. There are two inequivalent C3+ sites. In the first C3+ site, C3+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.25 Å) and one longer (1.28 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C3+ site, C3+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.23 Å) and one longer (1.32 Å) C–O bond length. H1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.08 Å) and one longer (1.44 Å) H–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one C3+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb1+ and one C3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Rb1+, one C3+, and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb1+ and one C3+ atom.
