YbO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing YbO12 cuboctahedra. O(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms.
YbO3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted face and corner-sharing YbO12 cuboctahedra. All Yb(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.46 Å. O(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both O(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.88 Å.
