The material structure described by Yb5Si3C crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Si(1) atoms. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si(1) and two equivalent C(1) atoms. Si(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and five equivalent Yb(2) atoms. C(1) is bonded to six equivalent Yb(2) atoms to form face-sharing CYb6 octahedra. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
