The structure described by YbGdTe2 is Caswellsilverite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form YbTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Gd(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Yb(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Gd(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Gd(1) is bonded to six equivalent Te(1) atoms to form GdTe6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Yb(1)Te6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent Yb(1)Te6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Gd(1)Te6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. Te(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TeYb3Gd3 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra are not tilted. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
