RbVSO6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(6) atoms. V(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. S(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(4), and one O(6) atom. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one V(1), and one S(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one V(1), and one S(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rb(1) and one V(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rb(1), one V(1), and one S(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent V(1) atoms. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one S(1) atom.
