Materials Data on YbC6 by Materials Project
YbC6 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent C+0.33- atoms to form edge-sharing YbC12 cuboctahedra. All Yb–C bond lengths are 2.63 Å. C+0.33- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb2+ and three equivalent C+0.33- atoms. All C–C bond lengths are 1.45 Å.
