The material structure described by YbC6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent C(1) atoms to form edge-sharing YbC12 cuboctahedra. C(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent C(1) atoms. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
