RbVOF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), one F(2), two equivalent F(3), and four equivalent F(1) atoms. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing VOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 17°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one V(1) atom. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and one V(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Rb(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded to two equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent V(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FRb2V2 tetrahedra.
RbVOF3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), one F(2), two equivalent F(3), and four equivalent F(1) atoms. Both Rb(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.98 Å. The Rb(1)-F(2) bond length is 3.25 Å. Both Rb(1)-F(3) bond lengths are 2.92 Å. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and two longer (3.29 Å) Rb(1)-F(1) bond lengths. V(1) is bonded to one O(1), one F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing VOF5 octahedra.
