Yb(PO3)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Yb3+ sites. In the first Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Yb–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.33 Å. In the second Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. All Yb–O bond lengths are 2.29 Å. In the third Yb3+ site, Yb3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. All Yb–O bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There are four inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two YbO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–21°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.62 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two YbO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–32°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.62 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent YbO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 10–27°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.61 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent YbO6 octahedra and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 28–43°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.62 Å. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms.
