Materials Data on NaYb3 by Materials Project
NaYb3 is alpha bismuth trifluoride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Yb atoms. All Na–Yb bond lengths are 3.75 Å. There are two inequivalent Yb sites. In the first Yb site, Yb is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Na and four equivalent Yb atoms. All Yb–Yb bond lengths are 3.75 Å. In the second Yb site, Yb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Yb atoms.
