The material structure described by YbPt2B crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_222 space group. Yb(1) is bonded to eight equivalent Pt(1) and four equivalent B(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing YbB4Pt8 cuboctahedra. Pt(1) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent B(1) atoms. B(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Pt(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
