The structure described by Yb5Sb3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. There are four inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb(1) is bonded to one Sb(2) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing YbSb5 square pyramids. In the second Yb site, Yb(2) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Sb(2) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the third Yb site, Yb(3) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sb(2) and four equivalent Sb(1) atoms. In the fourth Yb site, Yb(4) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sb(2) and three equivalent Sb(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), two equivalent Yb(2), two equivalent Yb(3), and three equivalent Yb(4) atoms. In the second Sb site, Sb(2) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1), one Yb(2), two equivalent Yb(3), and four equivalent Yb(4) atoms. is represented by the CIF file [CIF]
