The crystal structure described by Rb3Au3Cl8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. There are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(4), and three equivalent Cl(3) atoms. There are two inequivalent Au sites. In the first Au site, Au(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent Cl(3) and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms. In the second Au site, Au(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Cl(1) and one Cl(2) atom. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), three equivalent Rb(2), and one Au(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(2) and one Au(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Rb(2), and one Au(2) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Rb(2), and one Au(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
