The compound described by RbNdTe2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Rb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form distorted RbTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Nd(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Rb(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. Nd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form NdTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Rb(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Rb(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Nd(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 10°. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Nd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TeRb3Nd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
