Materials Data on Ho3Os by Materials Project
Ho3Os is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Os atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Os bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.16 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Os atoms. There are one shorter (2.77 Å) and one longer (2.82 Å) Ho–Os bond lengths. Os is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ho atoms.
