The structure described by YbP3O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. Yb(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2), two equivalent O(3), and two equivalent O(4) atoms. There are two inequivalent P sites. In the first P site, P(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(1) and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. In the second P site, P(2) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom to form corner-sharing PO4 tetrahedra. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one P(1) and one P(2) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Yb(1) and one P(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb(1) and one P(2) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Yb(1) and one P(2) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(2) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
