Abstract	Analysis of a high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction pattern of a dry-synthesized rubidium zinc silicate, leucite analogue Rb2ZnSi5O12, showed that this material has a cubic Ia3dBAR structure. The structure of this material has been refined by the Rietveld method. Si and Zn atoms are disordered on tetrahedral framework sites and Rb occupies large channel sites along the [111] direction.
