RbK2AlCl6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form RbCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Rb–Cl bond lengths are 3.07 Å. K1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl1- atoms to form KCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent RbCl6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent AlCl6 octahedra. All K–Cl bond lengths are 3.85 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form AlCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent RbCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Al–Cl bond lengths are 2.34 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Rb1+, four equivalent K1+, and one Al3+ atom.
