Materials Data on Ho5Rh3 by Materials Project
Ho5Rh3 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 Rh atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Rh bond distances ranging from 2.86–3.38 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Rh atoms. All Ho–Rh bond lengths are 2.97 Å. Rh is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ho atoms.
