Ge(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent S(3) and two equivalent S(6) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one P(2), one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one P(1), one S(4), one S(5), and one S(6) atom. There are six inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rb(1), one Rb(2), and one P(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(2), one Ge(1), and one P(1) atom. In the fourth S site, S(4) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Rb(2), two equivalent Rb(1), and one P(2) atom. In the fifth S site, S(5) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Rb(2), two equivalent Rb(1), and one P(2) atom. In the sixth S site, S(6) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(2), one Ge(1), and one P(2) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
