YbIr2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Ir atoms. All Yb–Ir bond lengths are 3.12 Å. Ir is bonded to six equivalent Yb and six equivalent Ir atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing IrYb6Ir6 cuboctahedra. All Ir–Ir bond lengths are 2.66 Å.
YbIr is Tetraauricupride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ir atoms. All Yb–Ir bond lengths are 2.91 Å. Ir is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Yb atoms.
