YO3 is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Y(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Y(1) atoms.
