The crystal structure described by Yb(Rh3As2)2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-6m2 space group. Yb(1) is bonded to six equivalent Rh(2) and six equivalent As(1) atoms to form face-sharing YbAs6Rh6 cuboctahedra. There are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one As(2) and four equivalent As(1) atoms. In the second Rh site, Rh(2) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent As(1), and two equivalent As(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent As sites. In the first As site, As(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Rh(2), and four equivalent Rh(1) atoms. In the second As site, As(2) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh(1) and six equivalent Rh(2) atoms. is represented by the CIF card [CIF]
