There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.37–1.41 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.37 Å) and one longer (1.39 Å) B–O bond length. In the third B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.38 Å. There are thirteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Yb3+, and one B3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2YbB tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb3+ and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Yb3+ and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Yb3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OYb4 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb3+ and one B3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Yb3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OYb4 tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Li1+, one Yb3+, and one B3+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two equivalent Yb3+, and one B3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLiYb2B tetrahedra.
