Materials Data on HoIn3 by Materials Project

Abstract

HoIn3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to twelve equivalent In atoms to form HoIn12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent HoIn12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent InHo4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent HoIn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent InHo4In8 cuboctahedra. All Ho–In bond lengths are 3.27 Å. In is bonded to four equivalent Ho and eight equivalent In atoms to form distorted InHo4In8 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent InHo4In8 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent HoIn12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent InHo4In8 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent HoIn12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent InHo4In8 cuboctahedra. All In–In bond lengths are 3.27 Å.
