YTaO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Ta(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Ta(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OY2Ta2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one Ta(1) atom.
YTaO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two shorter (2.28 Å) and two longer (2.35 Å) Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.32 Å) and two longer (2.53 Å) Y(1)-O(2) bond lengths. Ta(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Both Ta(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.87 Å. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (2.21 Å) Ta(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and two equivalent Ta(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OY2Ta2 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one Ta(1) atom.
