YbCu2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms.
YbCu2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cu(1) atoms. There are a spread of Yb(1)-Cu(1) bond distances ranging from 2.86-3.06 Å. Cu(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Cu(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.44 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Cu(1)-Cu(1) bond length.
