YbAu3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing YbAu12 cuboctahedra. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) atoms.
YbAu3 is Uranium Silicide-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Au(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing YbAu12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.97 Å) and six longer (3.04 Å) Yb(1)-Au(1) bond lengths. Au(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) atoms.
