RbLi(C2N3)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent N(2) atoms. Li(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent N(2) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one N(1) and one N(2) atom. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Li(1), and one C(1) atom.
