GdYO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing YO6 octahedra. O(1) is bonded to one Gd(1) and three equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OGdY3 tetrahedra.
GdYO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Gd(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Gd(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.23 Å. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing YO6 octahedra. All Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. O(1) is bonded to one Gd(1) and three equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OGdY3 tetrahedra.
