YbPrO2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Pr(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Pr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. Pr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form PrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Pr(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Pr(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OYb3Pr3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted.
