The compound described by Yb(ZnP)2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent P(1) atoms to form YbP6 octahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent Zn(1)P4 tetrahedra, edges with six equivalent Yb(1)P6 octahedra, and edges with six equivalent Zn(1)P4 tetrahedra. Zn(1) is bonded to four equivalent P(1) atoms to form ZnP4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent Yb(1)P6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent Zn(1)P4 tetrahedra, edges with three equivalent Yb(1)P6 octahedra, and edges with three equivalent Zn(1)P4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 20-53°. P(1) is bonded to three equivalent Yb(1) and four equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing PYb3Zn4 pentagonal bipyramids. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
