The material structure described by YbP5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent P(1), two equivalent P(2), and six equivalent P(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom. In the second P site, P(1) is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent P(2) atoms. In the third P site, P(2) is bonded to one Yb(1), one P(1), one P(2), and one P(3) atom to form edge-sharing PYbP3 trigonal pyramids. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
