Materials Data on Yb(ReO4)3 by Materials Project
Yb(ReO4)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are six shorter (2.41 Å) and three longer (2.54 Å) Yb–O bond lengths. Re7+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.73 Å) and three longer (1.76 Å) Re–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one Re7+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Yb3+ and one Re7+ atom.
