YbSiO3 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 Si(1)O6 octahedra. Si(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form SiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Si(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 Si(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OYb4Si2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 0-60°.
