RbPdCl3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Pd(1)Cl6 octahedra. Pd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form PdCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pd(1)Cl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing ClRb4Pd2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°.
