The structure described by YbZn3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Zn(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing YbZn12 cuboctahedra. Zn(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb(1) and six equivalent Zn(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
