Materials Data on Ho5Ir2 by Materials Project
Ho5Ir2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ir atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.73–3.31 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded to four equivalent Ir atoms to form distorted edge-sharing HoIr4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.87 Å) and two longer (2.93 Å) Ho–Ir bond lengths. In the third Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ir atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Ir bond distances ranging from 2.85–3.01 Å. Ir is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Ho atoms.
