Materials Data on HoRe2 by Materials Project
HoRe2 is Hexagonal Laves structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve Re atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Re bond distances ranging from 3.15–3.19 Å. There are two inequivalent Re sites. In the first Re site, Re is bonded to six equivalent Ho and six equivalent Re atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ReHo6Re6 cuboctahedra. All Re–Re bond lengths are 2.74 Å. In the second Re site, Re is bonded to six equivalent Ho and six Re atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing ReHo6Re6 cuboctahedra. There are two shorter (2.64 Å) and two longer (2.80 Å) Re–Re bond lengths.
