The material structure described by Rb3(MoCl4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ama2 space group. There are two inequivalent Rb sites. In the first Rb site, Rb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Cl(5), two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms. In the second Rb site, Rb(2) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Cl(4), one Cl(5), three equivalent Cl(1), three equivalent Cl(2), and three equivalent Cl(3) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded to one Cl(1), one Cl(2), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and one Cl(5) atom to form edge-sharing MoCl5 square pyramids. There are five inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(5) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), two equivalent Rb(2), and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to one Rb(1), three equivalent Rb(2), and one Mo(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClRb4Mo square pyramids. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), three equivalent Rb(2), and one Mo(1) atom. In the fifth Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), three equivalent Rb(2), and one Mo(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
