RbSn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing RbSn12 cuboctahedra. Sn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
RbSn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Sn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing RbSn12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.91 Å) and six longer (3.98 Å) Rb(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. Sn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.03 Å) and four longer (3.24 Å) Sn(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths.
