RbHg3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing RbHg12 cuboctahedra. Hg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) atoms.
RbHg3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Rb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing RbHg12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.66 Å) and six longer (3.72 Å) Rb(1)-Hg(1) bond lengths. Hg(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) atoms.
