RbScO2 is H-Phase structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing ScO6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Rb(1) and three equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing ORb3Sc3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-39°.
