RbGeO6I crystallizes in the trigonal P312 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Ge(1), and one I(1) atom. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form IO6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent Ge(1)O6 octahedra.
