The material described by RbTi5Se8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Se(1), four equivalent Se(2), and four equivalent Se(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent Ti sites. In the first Ti site, Ti(1) is bonded to two equivalent Se(2) and four equivalent Se(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing TiSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. In the second Ti site, Ti(2) is bonded to one Se(1), two equivalent Se(2), and three equivalent Se(4) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing TiSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-51°. In the third Ti site, Ti(3) is bonded to one Se(1), two equivalent Se(4), and three equivalent Se(3) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing TiSe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 49-51°. There are four inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Ti(2), one Ti(3), and two equivalent Ti(1) atoms. In the second Se site, Se(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Ti(1), and two equivalent Ti(2) atoms. In the third Se site, Se(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Ti(3) atoms. In the fourth Se site, Se(4) is bonded to two equivalent Ti(3) and three equivalent Ti(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing SeTi5 trigonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
