Materials Data on RbIn4 by Materials Project
RbIn4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to sixteen In atoms. There are eight shorter (3.88 Å) and eight longer (4.09 Å) Rb–In bond lengths. There are two inequivalent In sites. In the first In site, In is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb and five In atoms. There are one shorter (2.95 Å) and four longer (3.07 Å) In–In bond lengths. In the second In site, In is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb and four equivalent In atoms.
