Materials Data on HoMg2 by Materials Project
Mg2Ho crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Mg and six equivalent Ho atoms. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.30 Å. There are two shorter (3.42 Å) and four longer (3.43 Å) Mg–Ho bond lengths. Ho is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Mg and two equivalent Ho atoms. Both Ho–Ho bond lengths are 3.30 Å.
