Materials Data on YbBi2 by Materials Project
YbBi2 is Zirconium Disilicide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten Bi atoms. There are a spread of Yb–Bi bond distances ranging from 3.35–3.67 Å. There are two inequivalent Bi sites. In the first Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Yb and two equivalent Bi atoms. Both Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.21 Å. In the second Bi site, Bi is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Yb and four equivalent Bi atoms. All Bi–Bi bond lengths are 3.32 Å.
