The structure described by RbGeCl3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to one Ge(1), three equivalent Cl(1), and six equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Ge(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Ge(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClRb3Ge tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
