Rb2Mo3O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(3), three equivalent O(4), and three equivalent O(5) atoms. There are two inequivalent Mo sites. In the first Mo site, Mo(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. In the second Mo site, Mo(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(5) atoms. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Rb(1) and one Mo(2) atom. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Rb(1), one Mo(1), and one Mo(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Mo(2) and two equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the fifth O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Rb(1) and one Mo(1) atom.
