The crystal structure described by Yb2CdSb2 is Magnesium tetraboride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(1), one Sb(1), and four equivalent Sb(2) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cd(1), two equivalent Sb(2), and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. Cd(1) is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Sb(1), and two equivalent Sb(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), four equivalent Yb(2), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(2), four equivalent Yb(1), and two equivalent Cd(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
