The title compound, Rb2Cd3(SO4)4·5H2O, arose as an unexpected product during the attempted synthesis of an Rb2Cd2(SO4)3 potassium cadmium sulfate langbeinite, It has two layers, layer A containing Cd octa­hedra bridged by sulfate groups and layer B containing edge-shared Cd octa­hedra, with Rb atoms occupying inter­stial positions. The layers are connected by way of Cd-O-S links.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
