Materials Data on YB6 by Materials Project
YB6 is Calcium hexaboride structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to twenty-four equivalent B atoms. All Y–B bond lengths are 3.01 Å. B is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y and five equivalent B atoms. There is one shorter (1.63 Å) and four longer (1.75 Å) B–B bond length.
