The compound described by RbAlSiO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Si(1)O4 tetrahedra. Si(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Al(1)O4 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Al(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Al(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Al(1), and one Si(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Al(1), and one Si(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
