In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NbO6 octahedra and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.60–1.66 Å. In the third Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NbO6 octahedra and corners with three SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.59–1.65 Å. In the fourth Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent NbO6 octahedra and corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 38–43°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–1.66 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb1+, one Nb5+, and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Rb1+ and one Nb5+ atom.
