Yb2C3 is Plutonium carbide structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and one C(1) atom.
Yb2C3 is Plutonium carbide structured and crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent C(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.57 Å) and three longer (2.59 Å) Yb(1)-C(1) bond lengths. C(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and one C(1) atom. The C(1)-C(1) bond length is 1.28 Å.
