YPO4 is Zircon-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_222 space group. Y(1) is bonded to eight equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted YO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with four equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent P(1)O4 tetrahedra. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids and edges with two equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one P(1) atom.

There are four shorter (2.33 Å) and four longer (2.50 Å) Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths. P(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids and edges with two equivalent Y(1)O8 hexagonal bipyramids. All P(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.55 Å. O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Y(1) and one P(1) atom.
