The structure described by RbHgSbTe3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg(1), two equivalent Te(3), three equivalent Te(1), and three equivalent Te(2) atoms. Hg(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Te(1), one Te(2), and two equivalent Te(3) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1), two equivalent Te(2), and two equivalent Te(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There are three inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1), one Hg(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing TeRb3HgSb2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1), one Hg(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing TeRb3HgSb2 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 6-59°. In the third Te site, Te(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Hg(1), and two equivalent Sb(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
