The compound described by RbSmI3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent I(2) and six equivalent I(1) atoms. Sm(1) is bonded to two equivalent I(2) and four equivalent I(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing SmI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There are two inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms. In the second I site, I(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Sm(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
