description: Rb(WO3)4 crystallizes in the trigonal P-31m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted RbO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with twelve WO6 octahedra and a faceface with one RbO12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.26 Å) and six longer (3.47 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form RbO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with twelve WO6 octahedra and faces with two RbO12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.34 Å) and six longer (3.36 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form RbO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with twelve WO6 octahedra and faces with two RbO12 cuboctahedra. All Rb–O bond lengths are 3.35 Å. In the fourth Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form RbO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with twelve WO6 octahedra. There are six shorter (3.36 Å) and six longer (3.37 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. In the fifth Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent O2- atoms to form RbO12 cuboctahedra that share edges with twelve equivalent WO6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent RbO12 cuboctahedra.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–29°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.96 Å. In the third W+5.75+ site, W+5.75+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six WO6 octahedra and edges with four RbO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–31°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.95 Å. In the fourth W+5.75+ site, W+5.75+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six WO6 octahedra and edges with four RbO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–31°. There is one shorter (1.93 Å) and five longer (1.95 Å) W–O bond length. In the fifth W+5.75+ site, W+5.75+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six WO6 octahedra and edges with four RbO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–31°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.96 Å. In the sixth W+5.75+ site, W+5.75+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form WO6 octahedra that share corners with six WO6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent RbO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–30°. There is three shorter (1.93 Å) and three longer (1.95 Å) W–O bond length. There are thirteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Rb1+ and two equivalent W+5.75+ atoms.
