RbN3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1) and eight equivalent N(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1), one N(1), and one N(2) atom.
RbN3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Amm2 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N(1) and eight equivalent N(2) atoms. Both Rb(1)-N(1) bond lengths are 3.58 Å. There are four shorter (3.11 Å) and four longer (3.21 Å) Rb(1)-N(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent N(2) atoms. Both N(1)-N(2) bond lengths are 1.30 Å. In the second N site, N(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1), one N(1), and one N(2) atom. The N(2)-N(2) bond length is 1.75 Å.
