The material described by RbSnCl3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form corner-sharing SnCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. Cl(1) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ClRb2Sn2 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
