The crystal structure described by YbHg2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. Yb(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Hg(1) atoms to form a mixture of face and edge-sharing YbHg12 cuboctahedra. Hg(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb(1) and three equivalent Hg(1) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
