LiYb(WO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Li(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent O(3) and two equivalent O(4) atoms. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. W(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one O(3), one O(4), two equivalent O(1), and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Yb(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1) and two equivalent W(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li(1), one Yb(1), and one W(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li(1), one Yb(1), and one W(1) atom.
