The compound described by (YbMoO4)2Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure consists of two 7782-50-5 molecules inside a YbMoO4 framework. In the YbMoO4 framework, Yb(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted YbO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent Mo(1)O4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent Yb(1)O6 pentagonal pyramids, and  an edgeedge with one Mo(1)O4 tetrahedra. Mo(1) is bonded to one O(2), one O(3), and two equivalent O(1) atoms to form MoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent Yb(1)O6 pentagonal pyramids and  an edgeedge with one Yb(1)O6 pentagonal pyramid. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Yb(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb(1) and one Mo(1) atom. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
