Materials Data on YOs3 by Materials Project
YOs3 is beta Cu3Ti-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent Os1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing YOs12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.92 Å) and six longer (2.93 Å) Y–Os bond lengths. Os1- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Y3+ atoms.
