Materials Data on Ho2B6Rh by Materials Project
Ho2RhB6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rh and fourteen B atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Rh bond distances ranging from 3.07–3.18 Å. There are a spread of Ho–B bond distances ranging from 2.73–2.81 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rh and twelve B atoms. There are one shorter (2.86 Å) and one longer (2.87 Å) Ho–Rh bond lengths. There are a spread of Ho–B bond distances ranging from 2.61–2.63 Å. Rh is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five Ho and ten B atoms. There are a spread of Rh–B bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.42 Å. There are six inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six Ho and three B atoms. There are a spread of B–B bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.16 Å. In the second B site, B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Ho, two equivalent Rh, and three B atoms. There is one shorter (1.74 Å) and one longer (1.82 Å) B–B bond length. In the third B site, B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho, two equivalent Rh, and three B atoms. There is one shorter (1.80 Å) and two longer (1.81 Å) B–B bond length. In the fourth B site, B is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four Ho, two equivalent Rh, and three B atoms. The B–B bond length is 1.84 Å.
