Materials Data on RbNO3 by Materials Project
RbNO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing RbO12 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.34 Å. N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All N–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and one N5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and one N5+ atom.
