The compound described by RbAl(SeO4)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P321 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(2) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted AlO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent Se(1)O4 tetrahedra. Se(1) is bonded to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms to form SeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Al(1)O6 pentagonal pyramids. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Al(1) and one Se(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Se(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
