Mg2Ho is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. Mg(1) is bonded to six equivalent Mg(1) and six equivalent Ho(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing MgHo6Mg6 cuboctahedra. Ho(1) is bonded in a 16-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Mg(1) and four equivalent Ho(1) atoms.
