YbAlO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and eight equivalent O(2) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 15-17°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
YbAlO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and eight equivalent O(2) atoms. There are a spread of Yb(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.36-2.86 Å. There are a spread of Yb(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 2.39-2.88 Å. Al(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 15-17°. Both Al(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.85 Å. There are two shorter (1.84 Å) and two longer (1.85 Å) Al(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Al(1) atoms.
