The compound described by YbFe2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Fe(1) and nine equivalent Fe(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Fe sites. In the first Fe site, Fe(1) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Fe(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing FeYb6Fe6 cuboctahedra. In the second Fe site, Fe(2) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Fe(1), and four equivalent Fe(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing FeYb6Fe6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
