Materials Data on Yb2I2O by Materials Project
Yb2OI2 is alpha Niobium phosphide-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one Yb2OI2 cluster. Yb2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one O2- and one I1- atom. The Yb–O bond length is 2.04 Å. The Yb–I bond length is 2.88 Å. O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Yb2+ atoms. I1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Yb2+ atom.
