RbGeBr3 is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Br bond distances ranging from 3.62–4.15 Å. Ge2+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Br1- atoms. All Ge–Br bond lengths are 2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to three equivalent Rb1+ and one Ge2+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded to three equivalent Rb1+ and one Ge2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BrRb3Ge tetrahedra.
