YbNi2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing NiYb6Ni6 cuboctahedra.
