RbYTe2 is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Te(1) atoms. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form edge-sharing YTe6 octahedra. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing TeRb3Y3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-42°.
