The alkali halides have been studied very frequently for their simple structures and interesting properties, for example, the high-pressure induced transition$^1$. There are several successful models that can be employed. The most famous model of them is the Tosi-Fumi interionic potential$^2$ which is an empirical potential derived from the experimental data. Whereas, here we developed a new potential model based on the M\"{o}bius lattice inversion method$^{3,4}$, which can be derived directly from the cohesive energy curve without any experimental data and is more effective than the ab initial calculation. With the M\"{o}bius interionic potentials, we calculated the structural and elastic properties of RbCl crystal. The results are in good agreement with experiments. We also studied the high-pressure induced B1-B2 transition of RbCl crystal and estimated approximately the transition-point which is about 1.09GPa. Further more, we used this potential model to simulate the RbCl melting with molecular dynamics. The calculated melt-point is approximately 990K$\sim$995K, close to the experimental data.
