Os(1) is bonded in a 15-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), three equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent B(1), two equivalent B(2), two equivalent B(3), two equivalent B(4), and two equivalent B(5) atoms. There are six inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Os(1), one B(1), one B(2), and one B(5) atom. In the second B site, B(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Yb(2), two equivalent Os(1), one B(1), one B(3), and one B(6) atom.
