Materials Data on Ho2TeO2 by Materials Project
Ho2TeO2 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Te2- and four equivalent O2- atoms. All Ho–Te bond lengths are 3.15 Å. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and three longer (2.31 Å) Ho–O bond lengths. Te2- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho3+ atoms. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ho3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OHo4 tetrahedra.
