The structure described by Yb(OH)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine equivalent O(1) atoms. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and one H(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
