“…The Rb1 atom is located between three [Cu 2 Cl 9 ] 5À dimers, with an average <Rb1-Cl> bond length of 3.508 Å , whereas the Rb2 atom is located in the framework channels with an average <Rb2-Cl> bond length of 3.555 Å . In terms of perovskite-type nomenclature, the crystal structure of "-RbCuCl 3 can be described as a distorted version of the 4H perovskite structure type (the ideal version with the P6 3 /mmc space group is realized in the crystal structure of one of the polymorphs of RbMgCl 3 ; Devaney et al, 1981). Another example of an orthorhombically distorted 4H perovskite type with the C222 1 space group is CsCuBr 3 (Li Refined as an inversion twin Absolute structure parameter 0.495 19Computer programs: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009), SAINT (Bruker, 2009), SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 2008), SHELXL2014 (Sheldrick, 2015), DIAMOND (Brandenburg & Putz, 1999) and OLEX2 (Dolomanov et al, 2009).…”
