YbBO3 is Calcite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing YbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. B(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one B(1) atom.
