The structure described by Yb2Ni2Al crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ni(1) atoms. Ni(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Ni(1), and two equivalent Al(1) atoms. Al(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ni(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing AlNi4 cuboctahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
