Yb4Sb3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing YbSb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-50°. Sb(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing SbYb8 hexagonal bipyramids.

The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 17-50°. There are three shorter (3.16 Å) and three longer (3.32 Å) Yb(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths. Sb(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing SbYb8 hexagonal bipyramids.
