HoMoO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to one O(4), one O(5), two equivalent O(1), two equivalent O(2), and two equivalent O(3) atoms. Mo(1) is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(2), one O(3), one O(4), and one O(5) atom. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ho(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the fourth O site, O(4) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ho(1) and one Mo(1) atom. In the fifth O site, O(5) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ho(1) and one Mo(1) atom.
