The structure described by Yb(Mo3Se4)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to two equivalent Se(1) and six equivalent Se(2) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded to one Se(1) and four equivalent Se(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing MoSe5 square pyramids. There are two inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1) and three equivalent Mo(1) atoms. In the second Se site, Se(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1) and four equivalent Mo(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
