Rb[NaCd3O4] presents, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of a 4d transition metal oxide in this A[(MO)4] structure type. The structure consists of a three-dimensional network of edge- and corner-linked distorted tetra­hedral [MO4] entities, with M = Na+ and Cd2+ in a 1:3 ratio sharing a common site set on Wyckoff position 8h in space group I4/m. The large cavities are occupied by A = Rb+ in an almost cubic coordination (4/m symmetry), giving rise to one-dimensional chains of face-sharing [RbO8] polyhedra along [001].

Experimental. A suitable single-crystal was carefully selected in a golve box with an attached microscope and mounted in a glass capillary. The scattering intensities were collected on an imaging plate diffractometer (IPDS I, Stoe & Cie) equipped with a fine focus sealed tube X-ray source (Mo Kα, λ = 0.71073 Å) operating at 50 kV and 30 mA. Intensity data for the title compound were collected at room temperature by φ-scans in 125 frames (0 < φ < 250°, Δφ = 2°, exposure time of 25 min) in the 2 θ range 3.8 to 56.3°. Structure solution and refinement were carried out using the programs SHELXS and SHELXL (Sheldrick, 1997). A numerical absorption correction (X-RED (Stoe & Cie, 2001)) was applied after optimization of the crystal shape (X-SHAPE (Stoe & Cie, 1999)). The last cycles of refinement included atomic positions and anisotropic parameters for all atoms. The final difference maps were free of any chemically significant features. The refinement was based on F2 for ALL reflections.

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.
