Yb(CO2)3(CH2)3(CH)3 is Indium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twelve 02329_fluka molecules, twelve 02329_fluka molecules, and two Yb(CO2)3 clusters. In each Yb(CO2)3 cluster, Yb(1) is bonded to one O(1), one O(3), one O(4), one O(5), one O(6), and two equivalent O(2) atoms to form distorted edge-sharing YbO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The Yb(1)-O(1) bond length is 2.37 Å. The Yb(1)-O(3) bond length is 2.25 Å. The Yb(1)-O(4) bond length is 2.29 Å. The Yb(1)-O(5) bond length is 2.36 Å. The Yb(1)-O(6) bond length is 2.32 Å. There is one shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.44 Å) Yb(1)-O(2) bond length. There are three inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(7) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom. The C(7)-O(1) bond length is 1.23 Å. The C(7)-O(2) bond length is 1.28 Å. In the second C site, C(8) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(3) and one O(4) atom. The C(8)-O(3) bond length is 1.26 Å. The C(8)-O(4) bond length is 1.27 Å. In the third C site, C(9) is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one O(5) and one O(6) atom. The C(9)-O(5) bond length is 1.25 Å. The C(9)-O(6) bond length is 1.27 Å. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Yb(1) and one C(7) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1) and one C(7) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb(1) and one C(8) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb(1) and one C(8) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Yb(1) and one C(9) atom. In the sixth O site, O(6) is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Yb(1) and one C(9) atom. Linkers: 4 [O]C(=O)[C@H]1C[C@@H](C([O])=O)C[C@@H](C([O])=O)C1.
