YbSb2Te4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Te(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form edge-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms.
YbSb2Te4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Te(1) atoms. There are four shorter (3.15 Å) and four longer (3.57 Å) Yb(1)-Te(1) bond lengths. Sb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form edge-sharing SbTe6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sb(1)-Te(1) bond distances ranging from 2.99-3.34 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms.
