Materials Data on HoAs3 by Materials Project
HoAs3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent As1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing HoAs12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.00 Å) and six longer (3.16 Å) Ho–As bond lengths. As1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho3+ and two equivalent As1- atoms. Both As–As bond lengths are 2.75 Å.
