In the fifth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the sixth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the seventh I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the eighth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the ninth I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Rb1+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the tenth I1- site, I1- is bonded to two Rb1+ and two Bi3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing IRb2Bi2 trigonal pyramids.
