The material structure described by RbYb2Cl7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(4), and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry to one Cl(4), two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), and two equivalent Cl(3) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Yb(1), and two equivalent Yb(2) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1), one Yb(1), and one Yb(2) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ClRb2Yb2 trigonal pyramids. In the third Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Yb(1), and one Yb(2) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), one Yb(2), and one Cl(3) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
