The material described by Rb2ZnCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Cl(1), three equivalent Cl(3), and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(3), three equivalent Cl(1), and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one Cl(1), one Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), three equivalent Rb(2), and one Zn(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and one Zn(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(2), three equivalent Rb(1), and one Zn(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
