Materials Data on Ho2GaCo2 by Materials Project
Ho2Co2Ga crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Co and four equivalent Ga atoms. There are four shorter (2.89 Å) and two longer (2.90 Å) Ho–Co bond lengths. There are two shorter (3.17 Å) and two longer (3.21 Å) Ho–Ga bond lengths. Co is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho, one Co, and two equivalent Ga atoms. The Co–Co bond length is 2.32 Å. Both Co–Ga bond lengths are 2.54 Å. Ga is bonded to eight equivalent Ho and four equivalent Co atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing GaHo8Co4 cuboctahedra.
