The material structure described by Rb2YCl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(4), and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(4), and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Y(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms to form corner-sharing YCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and one Y(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and one Y(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and one Y(1) atom to form distorted corner-sharing ClRb4Y square pyramids. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and two equivalent Y(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
