description: Rb3Zr2P5S18 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine S2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–S bond distances ranging from 3.52–4.02 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight S2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–S bond distances ranging from 3.46–3.89 Å. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten S2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–S bond distances ranging from 3.47–4.04 Å. There are two inequivalent Zr4+ sites. In the first Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to seven S2- atoms to form ZrS7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one PS4 tetrahedra and edges with three PS4 tetrahedra.
