Sr3YRhO6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Sr(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent O(1) atoms. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted YO6 pentagonal pyramids that share faces with two equivalent Rh(1)O6 octahedra. Rh(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form RhO6 octahedra that share faces with two equivalent Y(1)O6 pentagonal pyramids. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Sr(1), one Y(1), and one Rh(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted face, corner, and edge-sharing OSr4YRh octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-66°.
