M$$_{3}$$H(SeO$$_{4}$$)$$_{2}$$ forms a material group that exhibits superprotonic conductivity at rather low temperature. The superprotonic conductivity manifests itself upon a structural phase transition. The phase transition temperature varies depending on the elements of M and X. In order to clarify the relation between the crystal structure and the phase transition, Rb$$_{3-x}$$K$$_{x}$$H(SeO$$_{4}$$)$$_{2}$$ was investigated by means of a conductivity measurement and single crystal neutron structure analyses. The phase transition temperature was found to be non-linear to the variation of x by the conductivity measurement. The structure analyses revealed that the site occupancy of K at one of two M sites non-linearly varied with respect to x. This suggest that a close relation between the M site and the superprotonic phase transition.
