description: YbPr11Se16 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb is bonded to eight Se atoms to form distorted YbSe8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with eight PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, and faces with eight PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Yb–Se bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.21 Å. There are six inequivalent Pr sites. In the first Pr site, Pr is bonded to eight Se atoms to form distorted PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one YbSe8 hexagonal bipyramid, corners with seven PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, edges with four PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids, a faceface with one YbSe8 hexagonal bipyramid, and faces with seven PrSe8 hexagonal bipyramids.
