Y(OH)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Y3+ sites. In the first Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.64 Å. In the second Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.62 Å. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Y3+ and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Y3+ and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Y3+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Y3+ and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Y3+ and one H1+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to three Y3+ and one H1+ atom.
