Materials Data on Rb3HoCl6 by Materials Project
Rb3HoCl6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl1- atoms to form distorted RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent RbCl6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent HoCl6 octahedra. All Rb–Cl bond lengths are 4.07 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form RbCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent HoCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Rb–Cl bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Ho3+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form HoCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent RbCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Ho–Cl bond lengths are 2.62 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a linear geometry to five Rb1+ and one Ho3+ atom.
