HoScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-44°. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OHo2Sc2 trigonal pyramids.
HoScO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.22 Å) and one longer (2.32 Å) Ho(1)-O(2) bond length. There are a spread of Ho(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.25-2.89 Å. Sc(1) is bonded to two equivalent O(2) and four equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing ScO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 40-44°. Both Sc(1)-O(2) bond lengths are 2.15 Å. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Sc(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded to two equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Sc(1) atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OHo2Sc2 trigonal pyramids.
