Rb2Mn(PS3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S(1), three equivalent S(2), and three equivalent S(3) atoms. Mn(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent S(1), two equivalent S(2), and two equivalent S(3) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one S(1), one S(2), and one S(3) atom. There are three inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1), one Mn(1), and one P(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SRb3MnP square pyramids. In the second S site, S(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1), one Mn(1), and one P(1) atom. In the third S site, S(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb(1), one Mn(1), and one P(1) atom.
