Yb3Re crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Re(1) atoms. Re(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ReYb12 cuboctahedra.
Yb3Re crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Re(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.09 Å) and two longer (3.38 Å) Yb(1)-Re(1) bond lengths. Re(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ReYb12 cuboctahedra.
