RbInCl3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Rb(1) is bonded to four equivalent Cl(2) and eight equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form RbCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent In(1)Cl6 octahedra. In(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(2) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form InCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent In(1)Cl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-2°. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms.

There are a spread of Rb(1)-Cl(2) bond distances ranging from 3.80-3.90 Å. There are a spread of Rb(1)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 3.79-3.91 Å. In(1) is bonded to two equivalent Cl(2) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form InCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent In(1)Cl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Rb(1)Cl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-2°. Both In(1)-Cl(2) bond lengths are 2.73 Å. There are two shorter (2.72 Å) and two longer (2.73 Å) In(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Rb(1) and two equivalent In(1) atoms.
