Materials Data on HoB2Os by Materials Project
HoOsB2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent B3- atoms. There are a spread of Ho–B bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.93 Å. Os3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent B3- atoms. There are a spread of Os–B bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.28 Å. B3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ho3+, three equivalent Os3+, and two equivalent B3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.78 Å) and one longer (1.91 Å) B–B bond length.
