The material described by YbO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(2), and four equivalent O(3) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) atoms. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded to four equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OYb4 tetrahedra. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
