The material structure described by RbSm2Cl5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(4), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sm sites. In the first Sm site, Sm(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), two equivalent Cl(4), and two equivalent Cl(5) atoms. In the second Sm site, Sm(2) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Cl(2), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(5) atoms. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Sm(2) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Sm(2), and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1), one Sm(2), and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form distorted ClRb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent Cl(5)Sm4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Cl(3)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramids, corners with four equivalent Cl(4)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent Cl(5)Sm4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Cl(4)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramid, and  a faceface with one Cl(4)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramid. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1), one Sm(2), and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms to form distorted ClRb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent Cl(5)Sm4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent Cl(3)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramids,  an edgeedge with one Cl(5)Sm4 tetrahedra,  an edgeedge with one Cl(3)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramid, edges with two equivalent Cl(4)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramids, and  a faceface with one Cl(3)Rb2Sm3 trigonal bipyramid.
