The crystal structure described by Yb3CoO6 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3 space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted YbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent Co(1)O6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 43-63°. Co(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra and edges with six equivalent Yb(1)O6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 43°. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1) and one Co(1) atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OYb3Co trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
