YbGaO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Ga(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-34°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OYb2Ga2 tetrahedra.
YbGaO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.31 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) Yb(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of Yb(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.34-2.62 Å. Ga(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 30-34°. Both Ga(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 1.94 Å. There are two shorter (2.00 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Ga(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Ga(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OYb2Ga2 tetrahedra.
