The isothermal section of the phase diagram of the ternary system Yb–Cr–Sb was constructed in the whole concentration range at 500°C using X-ray powder diffraction data. The binary compounds of the systems YbSb and Cr–Sb do not dissolve the third component. The existence of the ternary compound YbCrSb3 (structure type CeCrSb3, Pearson symbol oP20, space group Pbcm, unit-cell parameters a = 12.926(3), b = 6.141(1), c = 5.990(1) Å) was confirmed.
