The material described by Yb2Te3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing YbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 1°. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded to two equivalent Te(1) and four equivalent Te(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing YbTe6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 1-3°. There are two inequivalent Te sites. In the first Te site, Te(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Yb(2) atoms. In the second Te site, Te(2) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and two equivalent Yb(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
