Materials Data on HoRhO3 by Materials Project
HoRhO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ho–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.72 Å. Rh3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing RhO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–45°. There are a spread of Rh–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.09 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho3+ and two equivalent Rh3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ho3+ and two equivalent Rh3+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OHo2Rh2 trigonal pyramids.
