Materials Data on Ho5Pb3 by Materials Project
Ho5Pb3 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 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Pb atoms. All Ho–Pb bond lengths are 3.23 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pb atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Pb bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.60 Å. Pb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ho atoms.
