Yb(ReO{sub 4}){sub 3} obtained by the slow crystallization of its melt in air is investigated by X-ray diffraction (298 K, 329 reflections, R = 0.083, R{sub w} = 0.102). Crystals are hexagonal, a = 9.999(4) {angstrom}, c = 6.070(2) {angstrom}, Z = 2, space group P6{sub 3}/m. The structure is related to the CdTh(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3} type and consists of columns of Yb polyhedra (three-cap trigonal prisms) and of Re tetrahedra. The correlation of the structures of Yb(ReO{sub 4}){sub 3} and apatite is discussed.
