The material structure described by Y(AgCl2)3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Y(1) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form YCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Ag(2)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded to six equivalent Cl(1) atoms to form AgCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Y(1)Cl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. Cl(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Y(1), one Ag(2), and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
