YCr2O2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Y(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. Cr(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OY2Cr3 trigonal bipyramids.
YCr2O2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. Y(1) is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O(1) atoms. All Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.28 Å. Cr(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.17 Å) and two longer (2.54 Å) Cr(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to two equivalent Y(1) and three equivalent Cr(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OY2Cr3 trigonal bipyramids.
