Rb2CO3 was reacted with an aqueous solution of H2[IrF6] acid. Subsequent slow evaporation at room temperature yielded light-pink crystals in the form of needles or hexagonal plates of the title compound. The precursor, H2[IrF6], was prepared as described in Smolentsev, Gubanov & Danilenko, (2007).

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. |

In Rb2[IrF6], the Rb+ cation is coordinated to twelve F atoms belonging to six anions, forming a slightly distorted anticuboctahedron. Each anion, in the form of a nearly ideal octahedron, interconnects twelve cations (Fig. 1). The Rb–F distances have slightly different values. Anticuboctahedra share all their rectangular faces and two triangular faces with each other, and share three other triangular faces with octahedra, giving rise to the framework structure (Fig. 2).
