YbIrSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Ir(2), four equivalent Ir(1), and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. In the second Ir site, Ir(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Sn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Ir(1), two equivalent Ir(2), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms.
YbIrSn crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to one Ir(2), four equivalent Ir(1), and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. The Yb(1)-Ir(2) bond length is 2.94 Å. All Yb(1)-Ir(1) bond lengths are 3.02 Å. There are two shorter (3.20 Å) and four longer (3.33 Å) Yb(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Ir sites. In the first Ir site, Ir(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Sn(1) atoms. All Ir(2)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 2.78 Å. In the second Ir site, Ir(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Sn(1) atoms. All Ir(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 2.71 Å. Sn(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Ir(1), two equivalent Ir(2), and two equivalent Sn(1) atoms. Both Sn(1)-Sn(1) bond lengths are 3.13 Å.
