YbBr2 is Rutile-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Br(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing YbBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 51-52°. Br(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) atoms.
