YbNiO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 27-29°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
YbNiO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.22 Å) and one longer (2.28 Å) Yb(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of Yb(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.24-2.49 Å. Ni(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 27-29°. Both Ni(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.87 Å. All Ni(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.88 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ni(1) atoms.
