YOsB2 is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Os(1) and eight equivalent B(1) atoms. Os(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Y(1) and six equivalent B(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Os(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms.
YOsB2 is delta Molybdenum Boride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to one Os(1) and eight equivalent B(1) atoms. The Y(1)-Os(1) bond length is 2.97 Å. There are a spread of Y(1)-B(1) bond distances ranging from 2.62-2.95 Å. Os(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Y(1) and six equivalent B(1) atoms. There are two shorter (2.24 Å) and four longer (2.28 Å) Os(1)-B(1) bond lengths. B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y(1), three equivalent Os(1), and two equivalent B(1) atoms. There is one shorter (1.79 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) B(1)-B(1) bond length.
