Materials Data on HoBrO by Materials Project
HoOBr crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one HoOBr sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ho3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and two equivalent Br1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.24 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Ho–O bond lengths. Both Ho–Br bond lengths are 2.83 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ho3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OHo4 tetrahedra. Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ho3+ atoms.
