Materials Data on Ho(CoGe)2 by Materials Project
HoCo2Ge2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Co and eight equivalent Ge atoms. All Ho–Co bond lengths are 3.21 Å. All Ho–Ge bond lengths are 3.08 Å. Co is bonded to four equivalent Ho and four equivalent Ge atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing CoHo4Ge4 tetrahedra. All Co–Ge bond lengths are 2.33 Å. Ge is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho, four equivalent Co, and one Ge atom. The Ge–Ge bond length is 2.57 Å.
