Materials Data on HoGa2Ni by Materials Project
HoNiGa2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ni and ten equivalent Ga atoms. There are one shorter (2.85 Å) and two longer (3.02 Å) Ho–Ni bond lengths. There are a spread of Ho–Ga bond distances ranging from 2.98–3.27 Å. Ni is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho and six equivalent Ga atoms. There are two shorter (2.51 Å) and four longer (2.52 Å) Ni–Ga bond lengths. Ga is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ho and three equivalent Ni atoms.
