Materials Data on Ho5Sb3 by Materials Project
Ho5Sb3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ho sites. In the first Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Sb atoms. All Ho–Sb bond lengths are 3.18 Å. In the second Ho site, Ho is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Sb atoms. There are a spread of Ho–Sb bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.39 Å. Sb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Ho atoms.
