The crystal structure described by YbWO4Cl crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. Yb(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), two equivalent O(4), and one Cl(1) atom to form distorted YbClO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five equivalent W(1)O4 tetrahedra and  an edgeedge with one Yb(1)ClO5 trigonal bipyramid. W(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), and one O(4) atom to form WO4 tetrahedra that share corners with five equivalent Yb(1)ClO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Yb(1) and one W(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Yb(1) and one W(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Yb(1) and one W(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one W(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1) and one Cl(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
