RbPdAlF6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one F(3), two equivalent F(1), and four equivalent F(2) atoms. Pd(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(3) atoms to form PdF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Pd(1)F6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Al(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 50-63°. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent F(1), two equivalent F(2), and two equivalent F(4) atoms to form AlF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Al(1)F6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent Pd(1)F6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-54°. There are four inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Rb(1), one Pd(1), and one Al(1) atom. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Pd(1), and one Al(1) atom. In the third F site, F(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Rb(1) and two equivalent Pd(1) atoms. In the fourth F site, F(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
