Materials Data on RbMnCl3 by Materials Project
RbMnCl3 is (Cubic) Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve RbCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight MnCl6 octahedra. There are six shorter (3.62 Å) and six longer (3.66 Å) Rb–Cl bond lengths. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine RbCl12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent MnCl6 octahedra, faces with seven RbCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven MnCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 15°. There are a spread of Rb–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.62–3.71 Å. There are two inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form MnCl6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent MnCl6 octahedra, faces with seven RbCl12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one MnCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. All Mn–Cl bond lengths are 2.54 Å. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form MnCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MnCl6 octahedra and faces with eight RbCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. All Mn–Cl bond lengths are 2.55 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Rb1+ and two Mn2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Rb1+ and two equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
