Materials Data on HoSc(BO3)2 by Materials Project
HoSc(BO3)2 is Calcite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form HoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. All Ho–O bond lengths are 2.30 Å. Sc3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form ScO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent HoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 57°. All Sc–O bond lengths are 2.14 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.39 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ho3+, one Sc3+, and one B3+ atom.
