Rb4P3(PdS4)3 crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3n space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a hexagonal planar geometry to six equivalent S(1) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent S(1) atoms. S(1) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1), one Pd(1), and one P(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SRb2PPd trigonal pyramids.
