Ho2SbO2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. Sb(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ho(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OHo4 tetrahedra.
Ho2SbO2 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imm2 space group. Ho(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sb(1) and four equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.45 Å) and two longer (3.56 Å) Ho(1)-Sb(1) bond lengths. There is one shorter (2.21 Å) and three longer (2.22 Å) Ho(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Sb(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Ho(1) atoms.
