Materials Data on Ho5Ga3 by Materials Project
Ho5Ga3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm 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 five equivalent Ga atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Ga bond distances ranging from 3.02–3.54 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ga atoms. All Ho–Ga bond lengths are 3.07 Å. Ga is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ho atoms.
