Rb6OCl4 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Rb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(1), one Cl(1), and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. O(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Rb(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rb(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Rb(1) atoms.
