The material structure described by YbMn2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1), three equivalent Mn(1), and nine equivalent Mn(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Mn sites. In the first Mn site, Mn(1) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Mn(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing MnYb6Mn6 cuboctahedra. In the second Mn site, Mn(2) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Mn(1), and four equivalent Mn(2) atoms to form a mixture of face, corner, and edge-sharing MnYb6Mn6 cuboctahedra. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
