The structure described by YbCO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Yb(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing YbO8 hexagonal bipyramids. C(1) is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Yb(1) and one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one C(1) atom. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
