The crystal structure described by YbNbO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent O(1) and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Nb(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one Nb(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one Nb(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
