The structure of [Yb(C4H10O2)(C4H8O)2(C12H8N)2] is monomeric with a distorted octahedral environment at Yb. The metal centre is surrounded by two 9-carbazolyl ligands which are cis to each other, two cis tetrahydrofuran ligands and one chelating dimethoxyethane ligand. Yb-N distances are 2.45 (2) and 2.43 (3) angstrom with a cis N-Yb-N angle of 107.3 (7)-degrees.
