Materials Data on Yb4Bi3 by Materials Project
Yb4Bi3 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded to six equivalent Bi atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing YbBi6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 17–50°. There are three shorter (3.25 Å) and three longer (3.43 Å) Yb–Bi bond lengths. Bi is bonded to eight equivalent Yb atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, face, and corner-sharing BiYb8 hexagonal bipyramids.
