The structure described by Yb(NO4)3 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of six Yb(NO4)3 clusters. Yb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(2), and three equivalent O(4) atoms. N(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N(1) atom. In the second O site, O(4) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Yb(1) atom. In the third O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Yb(1) and one N(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Yb(1) and one N(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
