Rb2LiRhCl6 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form distorted RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent Li(1)Cl6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent Rh(1)Cl6 octahedra, faces with eight equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with three equivalent Li(1)Cl6 octahedra, and faces with three equivalent Rh(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 12-20°. Li(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form LiCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent Rh(1)Cl6 octahedra. Rh(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form RhCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent Li(1)Cl6 octahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1), one Li(1), and one Rh(1) atom.
