RbSnO6I crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_322 space group. Rb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted RbO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-57°. Sn(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Rb(1)O6 pentagonal pyramids and edges with three equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rb(1), one Sn(1), and one I(1) atom. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form IO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Rb(1)O6 pentagonal pyramids and edges with three equivalent Sn(1)O6 octahedra.
