In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 2.89–3.11 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.52 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.91 Å. There are six inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Fe–F bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.52 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted FeF6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one FeF5 square pyramid, a cornercorner with one FeF5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one FeF7 pentagonal bipyramid.
