Rb3N5H12 crystallizes in the cubic I2_13 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(2), four equivalent N(1), six equivalent H(1), and six equivalent H(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(2) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent H(2) atoms. In the second N site, N(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent H(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one N(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one N(2) atom.
Rb3N5H12 crystallizes in the cubic I2_13 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 18-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(2), four equivalent N(1), six equivalent H(1), and six equivalent H(2) atoms.
