Materials Data on RbNiCl3 by Materials Project
RbNiCl3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl1- atoms to form RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, corners with six equivalent NiCl6 octahedra, faces with eight equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six equivalent NiCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 16°. There are six shorter (3.53 Å) and six longer (3.69 Å) Rb–Cl bond lengths. Ni2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form NiCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent RbCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent NiCl6 octahedra. All Ni–Cl bond lengths are 2.41 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Ni2+ atoms.
