The material structure described by Rb2YHgBr6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Br(1) atoms to form RbBr12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Rb(1)Br12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Rb(1)Br12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent Y(1)Br6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent Hg(1)Br6 octahedra. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form YBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Hg(1)Br6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Rb(1)Br12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Hg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form HgBr6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)Br6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Rb(1)Br12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb(1), one Y(1), and one Hg(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
