HoAgS2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_12_12 space group. Ho(1) is bonded to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 16-20°. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(2) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SHo3Ag2 square pyramids. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SHo3Ag2 square pyramids.
HoAgS2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_12_12 space group. Ho(1) is bonded to three equivalent S(1) and three equivalent S(2) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing HoS6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 16-20°. There are a spread of Ho(1)-S(1) bond distances ranging from 2.72-2.74 Å. There are a spread of Ho(1)-S(2) bond distances ranging from 2.71-2.74 Å. Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent S(1) and two equivalent S(2) atoms. There is one shorter (2.50 Å) and one longer (2.75 Å) Ag(1)-S(1) bond length. There is one shorter (2.49 Å) and one longer (2.96 Å) Ag(1)-S(2) bond length. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S(2) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SHo3Ag2 square pyramids. In the second S site, S(1) is bonded to three equivalent Ho(1) and two equivalent Ag(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing SHo3Ag2 square pyramids.
