The material described by Yb3N2 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. Yb(1) is bonded to four equivalent N(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing YbN4 trigonal pyramids. N(1) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing NYb6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 48-64°. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
