The material structure described by YbOOH crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Yb(1) is bonded to three equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing YbO7 hexagonal pyramids. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(2) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Yb(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OYb4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and one H(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
