Rb3CO3F crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Rb(1) is bonded to five equivalent O(1) and two equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing RbO5F2 pentagonal bipyramids. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five equivalent Rb(1) and one C(1) atom. F(1) is bonded to six equivalent Rb(1) atoms to form corner-sharing FRb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 26°.

Rb(1) is bonded to five equivalent O(1) and two equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing RbO5F2 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Rb(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.93-3.32 Å. Both Rb(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.79 Å. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. All C(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.31 Å. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five equivalent Rb(1) and one C(1) atom. F(1) is bonded to six equivalent Rb(1) atoms to form corner-sharing FRb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 26°.
