YbGeO3 is Copper structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one YbGeO3 cluster. Yb(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ge(1) and two equivalent O(1) atoms. The Yb(1)-Ge(1) bond length is 0.25 Å. There is one shorter (1.44 Å) and one longer (1.57 Å) Yb(1)-O(1) bond length. Ge(1) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb(1), one O(1), and one O(2) atom. The Ge(1)-O(1) bond length is 1.70 Å. The Ge(1)-O(2) bond length is 0.42 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Yb(1), one Ge(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom. The O(1)-O(2) bond length is 1.14 Å. The O(1)-O(3) bond length is 0.89 Å. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ge(1), one O(1), and one O(3) atom. The O(2)-O(3) bond length is 1.14 Å. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one O(1) and one O(2) atom.
