YbGeO3 is (Cubic) Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form YbO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Yb(1)O12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent Yb(1)O12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent Ge(1)O6 octahedra. Ge(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ge(1)O6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent Yb(1)O12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ge(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing OYb4Ge2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°.
