RbC8 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to twelve C+0.12- atoms to form edge-sharing RbC12 cuboctahedra. There are eight shorter (3.21 Å) and four longer (3.23 Å) Rb–C bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C+0.12- sites. In the first C+0.12- site, C+0.12- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and three C+0.12- atoms. There is one shorter (1.43 Å) and two longer (1.44 Å) C–C bond length. In the second C+0.12- site, C+0.12- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rb1+ and three C+0.12- atoms. The C–C bond length is 1.44 Å.
