RbZnSO4Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), two equivalent O(4), and three equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Zn(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one Cl(1) atom to form ZnClO3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent S(1)O4 tetrahedra. S(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent Zn(1)ClO3 tetrahedra. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Zn(1), and one S(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb(1), one Zn(1), and one S(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Zn(1), and one S(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one S(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Zn(1) atom.
