Materials Data on HoCuSn by Materials Project
HoCuSn is hexagonal omega structure-derived structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ho is bonded to six equivalent Cu and six equivalent Sn atoms to form a mixture of edge and face-sharing HoCu6Sn6 cuboctahedra. All Ho–Cu bond lengths are 3.19 Å. All Ho–Sn bond lengths are 3.19 Å. Cu is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and three equivalent Sn atoms. All Cu–Sn bond lengths are 2.61 Å. Sn is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Ho and three equivalent Cu atoms.
