Rubidium perchlorate, RbClO₄, is the perchlorate of rubidium. It is an oxidizing agent, as are all perchlorates.

Preparation and properties

Rubidium perchlorate can be obtained through the careful heating of a rubidium chlorate solution, leading to a disproportionation reaction with the release of oxygen gas:^[3]

2 RbClO₃ → RbClO₄ + RbCl + O₂

When heated, it decomposes into the chloride and oxygen:^[4]

RbClO₄ → RbCl + 2 O₂

It has two polymorphs. Below 279 °C, it crystallizes in orthorhombic crystal system with lattice constants a = 0.927 nm, b = 0.581 nm, c = 0.753 nm. Over 279 °C, it has a cubic structure with lattice constant a = 0.770 nm.^[1]
